As Required

Replacing the Drive Belts

Before your belt(s) fail, it will usually show signs
of wear. If the ribs facing the pulley are missing in
some areas, it may function quite well, but if numer-
ous ribs are missing, replace the drive belt right away.
If one side is wearing unevenly, you could have a mis-
aligned belt. This could be a problem with the pulley.
Cracks and rot are, of course, indications that you should
replace the drive belt. Any crack that's more than half-
way through the belt has to be replaced immediately.
If your drive belt is damaged, don't take chances, a damaged
belt could cause extensive damage to other components.
When in doubt, it's best to replace.
