Timing belts must be stored and handled with care. Store a belt on its edge with a radius greater than 50mm. Do not use a belt which has been twisted or bent double as this can fracture reinforcing fibres. Do not use an oil or coolant contaminated belt, cause of contamination must be rectified. Although the belt has a service life of 84,000 miles, (135,000 km) an existing belt should only be refitted if it has completed less than 42,000 miles (65,000 km).
