Inspect Drive Belt

INSPECT DRIVE BELT




1. Visually check the belt for excessive wear, frayed cords etc. If any defect has been found, replace the drive belt.

NOTE: Cracks on the rib side of a belt are considered acceptable. If the belt has chunks missing from the ribs, it should be replaced.

2. Using a belt tension gauge, measure the drive belt tension.
If the belt tension is not as specified, adjust it.
