What happens here

During the strenuous mowing demonstration, the drive belt of the mower snaps, which the host explains is a design feature (fail-safe) to prevent more costly damage to the spindle. To replace the belt: first, remove the red top cover of the mower. Then, use a wrench to release the tension on the idler pulley, allowing the old belt to be removed. Carefully thread the new belt around the engine pulley, the main drive pulley, and the idler pulley, ensuring it is properly seated. Re-tension the idler pulley with the wrench, and then replace the red top cover.

Goal: Repair the mower by replacing a broken drive belt
