SLIPPING WHILE PEDALING
CHAPTER 6: TROUBLESHOOTING
POSSIBLE CAUSES
1) Belt tension is not enough.
2) The one way bearing is damaged.
SOLUTION:
1) Check the drive belt tension. The drive belt should have 120 ft. / lbs of tension for a used belt and 150 ft. / lbs of tension for a new belt.
2) If the belt tension is correct and the belt is still slipping, the one way bearing is damaged. Replace the drive assembly (Figure A).
