CAUTION
e
Do not use steel or a wire brush to clean driven
pulley components. A wire brush or steel wool
will cause the sheaves to be gouged (thus, the
drive belt may not slide properly between
sheaves) and decreased performance and possi-
ble accelerated drive belt wear will result.
INSPECTING
II NOTE: Whenever a part is worn excessively,
cracked, defective, or damaged in any way,
replacement is necessary.
1. Inspect the buttons for damage, cracks or
wear.
2. Inspect the sheaves and sheave covers for
any gouges, cracks, or other damage. Also in-
spect threaded areas of sheaves for damaged
or stripped threads .
3. Inspect the torque bracket for cracks or
damage. The ramp portions of the bracket
must be free of gouges and damage. Minor
scratches may be repaired using #320 grit
wet-or-dry sandpaper.
