Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION 

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

HINT:  

-

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

-

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

-

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