when running the mower it squeals and the belt seemed too loose.

inine was that way the first time I used it. The belt stretched so much the mower was unusable until repaired. If not covered by warranty, the belt is very expensive

So far, the mower is fine. I mowed with it about 15 times last season and I've mowed four time this year. For me, it has proven well and I still like it a whole lot better than the John Deere L110 that I had. Plus, after sitting in the garage all winter, I just knew that I was going to have to give the battery a charge before using BUT it started right up the first time! It took about three seconds and the Briggs and Stratton started up like a champ.

I looked on gates website for mine too. All i remember is it was a slightly tough job but my belt never came off again. I even had someone hit the throttle several times while i sprayed it with my water hose. Didnt even squeal after the install but keep up with the belt part number because the stock belt no longer works

Honestly, yes I had a squeal,I was very frustrated and the higher the velocity or the intensity would get worst,I was about to return it, but after a couple weeks of use it completely vanished until today.

ok you got two possibility's hear # 1 you got a bad motor and yes iv heard of this happening because the sander's are not made in the USA \ # 2 you have got the adjustment tension for the belt wayyyy to tight with the sanding belt on so it put's wicked strain on the motor # 3 you may want to try a heaver belt grit

Not sure what might make it sound like that. It may be the sound of the belt under the cover...

It sounds like it could be a problem with the belt. Maybe it slipped off due to vibration, or broke, etc.... If you take it apart (make sure to pay attention so that you can easily put it back the same way) you will be able to check the belt.

Will have to get back to you. I replaced the mower I bought the bag for. Gave it to my son with the paperwork. I will check with him and let you know.

not perfectly. Had to use the old belt. That could have been my fault. Everything else is working fine.

Mine wore out quickly. It started squealing on carpet and now it squeals on bare floors. The belt on this unit is so tiny and I have found that replacing it does nothing to fix the problem.

You can also tighten the belt. That will add more resistance and stop the belt from moving too quickly. That's what I did to mine. The how-to part is in the instruction manual.

The bolts that secure the blades together may have been screwed on too tight.

Normally it's because of low humidity or the treadmill isn't grounded correctly. I've resorted to using a light spray of something anti-static to the running belt. Fabric softener + water will do the trick.

Make sure the belt isn't too tight. I put mine together with the the belt as tight as I could get it at first and it squealed. I went back and noticed that the instructions say to keep a little slack in it.

The little wheels on mine were a bit stiff when I got it, a little spray on lithium grease worked well. After a while that assembly with bolt and sheath will wear down. Small bearing wheels can be bolted onto the inside of the height control arms (and you can use larger wheels if you don't want to mow low).There's a high level of resistance when you're moving too slow. When you get this mower lay it on its side and turn the rear wheel, it should make a metal "schissing" noise, if it makes a sound like opening a catfood pull-can it is adjusted a little tight.

V belt but the pulley came in and was the wrong size and did not fit properly. I would suggest going to your local lawn mower shop v. Ordering this item.

If you are speaking of the brush head, once you have the screws out just pull straight out. The belt is tight. I found the answer to the noise(if that is what you are doing) is to take and trim or carefully file to remove that small bit that may be rubbing. You have to do it running to keep it true. Once I trimmed the noise maker this unit has proven it is money well spent

I believe mine has always squeaked a bit, but it never caused problems. My iron just recently died; I probably had it for 10+ years.
