Why is the belt snapping, shredding, or burning on my Bercomac Berco 700465?

If the belt is snapping, shredding, or burning on your Bercomac Snow Blower, several factors could be at play. It could be due to a lack of tension on the belt, which can be resolved by adjusting the manual clutch cable or replacing stretched springs. Ensure the snowblower wasn't engaged when plugged, and that the auger and fan aren't frozen. Using non-original belts or shear bolts can also cause issues, so always use original parts. Inspect the belt for wear and replace if needed. Check for imperfections in the pulleys, and either sand them down or replace them if damaged. Ensure the belt isn't making contact with any other parts when engaged and if the belt has flipped on its side, reinstall it in the opposite fashion to rectify the twist.
