Drive Belt Inspection

INSPECT DRIVE BELT





1. Visually check the belt for excessive wear, frayed cords, etc.

2. If any defect has been found, replace the drive belt.

HINT:

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




- After installing a belt, check that it fits properly in the ribbed grooves.

- Check with your hand to confirm that the belt has not slipped out of the groove on the bottom of the pulley.
