5.5 Procedure for Belt Replacement and Tuning
Applicable Units : RA4R, RA6R, RA7R, RA8R
5.5.1 Inspection of the Belt
For inspection work, detach the pulley cover with hexagonal wrench and carry it out by visual.
For RA4R, RA6R, RA7R, and RA8R, remove two hexagonal socket flat-head bolts (where marked with
a circle).

The period of replacement for the belt cannot be clearly defined as the durability of it is impacted so
much by the operational conditions.
In generally speaking, it possesses bending life of several million times.
The timing belt gets worn away as the time passes, and it is necessary to have replacement at regular
intervals with the following conditions as reference.
•
When the gear and belt area show obvious friction.
•
When swelling occurs as a result of oil adhesion.
•
When damages such as a crack occurs on the belt gear and back side.
Also, for the toothed belt, it is recommended to set the interval of regular replacement cycle when in
use under high wire fatigue condition in high acceleration and deceleration because it is difficult to
judge the right timing for replacement by checking appearance or looseness of the wires strengthening
the belt.
