Checking the v-belt
Fig. 100
Inspect the belts daily. Replace the belts if they
•
are cracked, frayed, or have chunks of material
missing. Small cracks are acceptable.
Adjust the belts that have a glazed or shiny surface,
which indicates belt slippage. Correctly installed
and tensioned belts will show even pulley and belt
wear. Refer to Section 5.29 for belt adjustment
and replacement procedures.
Belt damage can be caused by:
Incorrect tension
•
Incorrect size or length
•
Pulley misalignment
•
Incorrect installation
•
Severe operating environment
•
Oil or grease on the belts
