With available take-up tighten belts enough to keep from slipping during operation. Ideal belt tension
is the lowest tension at which the belt will not slip under peak load conditions. The drive side of the
belt(s) should be straight across and the slack side should show a slight bow.
5.
Do not place new belt(s) on worn sheaves.
6.
If multiple belts are used, replace all belts with a new set or matched belts.
7.
Do not use belt dressing on belt(s) which are slipping. Belt dressing will damage the belt and cause
early failure. Tighten belt(s) to proper tension, or if dirty, clean the belt(s) with a commercial
rubber solvent.
