Slip Burn

(See Figure 3-

.) Slip burn is caused by operating the belt too loosely,

which causes it to slip under load. Maintaining proper belt tension will

prevent this type of failure.

Gouged Edge

(See Figure 3-

23.) A gouged edge in a belt can be caused by a dam-

aged pulley or from interference with some part of the coach. Check

the condition of the pulleys. Make sure the belt does not rub on any

part of the vehicle while in operation.

Excessive Stretch

A belt that stretches excessively is one that stretches beyond the adjustment provided to take up normal

belt stretch.

Worn Sides

(See Figure 3-24

.) Badly worn belt sides result from long operation

without enough tension. The sides will be worn and slightly burned

around the entire circumference. Check for proper belt tension and pul-

ley alignment.
