4F Lacing Inspection
Particular attention should be kept on the belt lacing. Because of the flexing motion of the
belt, the lacing is always in motion. Watch for:
1. Wear in the joining pin.
2. Lacing pulls easily out of belt.
3. Staples which hold lacing can become loose or bent. To check this, you must look on the
back side of the belt. Any staples that are broken must be replaced. Any that are bent can
be straightened and crimped. When installing a new belt, check that all staples are
crimped properly before installing in the tube.
