Remove old belt: Find the drive belt; it usually lies below the mower deck near the drive system. Take the slack off by the belt tension pulley, using a wrench or a socket set, and finally, slide off the belt.
Install the new belt: Slip the new drive belt over the pulleys by taking the same path the old belt. Refer to a belt routing diagram or follow instructions inside the operating manual.
Tension: With the new belt in place, tension down on the belt tensioner pulley with a wrench or socket set to specifications by the manufacturer. This is easily carried out by checking the manufacturer's specifications.
Reassemble the Mower: If you have previously disconnected the mower deck, reinstall it according to your owner's manual. Ensure that all bolts, nuts, and connections are securely tight.
Test the lawn mower: Engage the engine, run it, and test the new belt in a new condition. Ensure that there is smooth movement of the mower, with no belt-slip or squeaking.
Final check: After testing, inspect all the parts, especially the drive belt and the surrounding area, for worn-out and damaged portions. Replace all worn-out or damaged parts in time.
