    Inspect the belt pulley grooves and flanges for wear. A new Bottom View belt, or one in good condition, should never run against the bottom of the groove.

Foreign fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doc- tor, familiar with this form of injury, or gangrene may result.
