V-BELT
1. Inspect the V-belt (Figure 21) to determine if it is frayed,
peeling, full of tiny cracks, has pieces of rubber missing,
or is otherwise damaged.
Figure 21. V-Belt Inspection
2. Inspect the V-belt (Figure 21) 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 may weaken the belt and
increase the danger of it breaking.
3. Replace the V-belt immediately if any of the
aforementioned wear conditions are observed.
