Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this part compatible with non-wheeled Flymo hover mowers?

No, this specific part is designed exclusively for the XL500 and XL550 wheeled series.

Does this package include the installation bolt?

No, the package typically contains the impeller fan only. We recommend keeping your existing bolt if it is in good condition.

How often should I replace the impeller fan?

You only need to replace it if it shows signs of cracking, chipping, or if it has become deformed due to contact with foreign objects.

Can I install this myself without professional tools?

You will need basic hand tools, specifically a socket set to remove the retaining hardware on the motor shaft.

What is the primary function of this fan?

It provides the necessary air displacement to both lift the mower (hovering) and assist in directing grass clippings into the collection box.

Troubleshooting

Mower still vibrates after installation

Check that the central retaining bolt is fully tightened and the fan is seated squarely on the motor shaft.

The mower is not hovering properly

Ensure the mower blades are sharp and not damaged, as the fan relies on the blade-induced airflow to maintain hover height.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Authentic Flymo manufacturing quality
Restores original mower suction and lift
Direct compatibility with XL500 and XL550 models
Easy to integrate with existing mower housing

Cons

Requires manual disassembly of the mower deck
Not compatible with standard Flymo hover mowers outside the wheeled XL series
May require a socket wrench set for installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this fan, first ensure the lawnmower is disconnected from any power source—unplug the electric cable or remove the battery if applicable. Access the underside of the deck to expose the existing fan assembly. You will likely need a wrench to remove the central retaining bolt holding the fan to the motor shaft. Once removed, ensure the shaft is clean of any debris before sliding the new 577172301 impeller into place. Always check that the fan blades are not obstructed before reattaching the mower blade. Regularly inspect the fan for accumulated grass buildup, which can cause imbalance over time, and clean it with a soft brush during your seasonal maintenance routine.
