7.
Do
not install a new belt where the sheaves have worn or damaged grooves. Worn
sheaves should be replaced with new ones to insure a proper fit
of
the belt in the
grooves, thus eliminating the possibility
of
premature belt failure.
8. Keep belts clean.
Use
no
belt dressing.
If
belts slip, clean with cloth dampened with
alcohol and readjust belt tension.
9.
Install guard and tighten retaining bolts.
