2. Inspect the V-belt (Figure 19) to determine if it is
oil-soaked or glazed (a hard, shiny appearance on the
sides of the belt). Either of these conditions can cause
overheating of the belt, which can weaken the belt and
increase the possibility of it breaking.
3. If the V-belt exhibits any of the above wear conditions
replace the V-belt immediately.
