Bigger fuse!
Just kidding, way too dangerous!
Perhaps too much tension from the belt, but if it didn’t do it before, and nothing changed, stumped.

Dear all
 
It's a bit late to bother Martin about this again, so maybe some of you can help. My M400 is blowing 2A fuses on its SMS - Martin tells me the motor probably needs oiling. I've done so in situ and replaced the fuse, but no improvement. I'm keen not to remove the motor, as I'm a crap mechanic and don't want the hassle of getting the drive belt back to its correct tension, unless absolutely necessary.
 
Any ideas?
