Belt Inspection
1. Inspect belt for hour glassing (extreme circular wear in at
least one spot and on both sides of the belt). Hour glassing
occurs when the drive train does not move and the drive
clutch engages the belt.
2. Inspect belt for loose cords, mIssmg cogs, cracks,
abrasions, thin spots, or excessive wear. Compare belt
measurements with a new drive belt. Replace if necessary.
3. Belts with thin spots, burn marks, etc., should be replaced
to eliminate noise, vibration, or erratic PVT operation. See
the Troubleshooting Chart at the end of this chapter for
possible causes.

A proper break-in of the clutches and drive belt will ensure a
longer life and better performance. Break in the clutches and
drive belt by operating at slower speeds during the 10 hour
break-in period as recommended (see Chapter 3 "Engine
Break-In Period" for break-in example). Pull only light loads.
Avoid aggressive acceleration and high speed operation during
the break-in period.
