Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection

Drive Belt





The drive belt should be inspected at every routine service for excessive wear and damage. A drive belt, which displays symptoms of cracking, may be perfectly fit for further service.

Should cracking be detected, serviceability may be assessed using the following guidelines:

Fifteen cracks per rib over a 100 mm length of drive belt is acceptable.

Section(s) of belt missing from any rib is not acceptable and the drive belt must be renewed.
