REPLACING THE BELTS

One of the major causes of belt failure is improper installation. Before a new belt is installed, check pulley shafts and bearings for wear. Check pulley grooves for cleanliness. Make sure spindles turn freely and without wobble. If grooves require cleaning, moisten a cloth with a non-flammable, non-toxic degreasing agent or commercial deter- gent and water.

Avoid excessive force during installation. Do not use tools to pry belt into pulley groove. Do not roll belt over pulleys to install. This can cause hidden damage and premature belt failure.
