When and How To Replace Belts
| Follow these general guidlines when determining if it is time to replace a belt. | |
 Cracked Or Split Check for cracks or splits on the bottom or sides of the belt as it flexes. A cracked and/or split belt can fail any time. |
|
 Greasy Grease build up causes a belt to soften, rot and fail. |
|
 Glazed A belt with slick, hard sides doesn't function properly. This can cause a radiator or other component to overheat. |
|
 Peeling When the undersurface of a belt peels, it becomes uneven, causing rough operation and failure. |
