3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
NOTE: Up to 15 cracks in a rib over a distance of 100 mm (3.93 in.) can be considered acceptable. If damage exceeds the acceptable limit or any
chunks are found to be missing from the ribs, a new belt must be installed.
Under no circumstances should the belt or tensioner be lubricated as potential damage to the belt material construction and tensioner damping
mechanism could occur.
