Drive Belts
*Belt dimensions are given in nominal dimensions. There is a +/
- variance for all critical dimensions. Clutch set up must be
inspected when a new belt is installed and, if necessary adjusted.
The drive belt is an important component of the converter
system. In order to achieve maximum efficiency from the
converter, drive belt tension (deflection), clutch offset, and
alignment must be adjusted properly.
Belt Inspection
1. Measure the belt width and replace it if it is worn severely.
Generally a belt should be replaced if the clutches can no
longer be adjusted to provide the proper belt deflection.
• Project the side profiles and measure from corner to
corner.
• Place a straight edge on each side of the drive belt and
measure the distance where the straight edges intersect
at the top (A,B).
2. Inspect the belt for loose cords. missing cogs, cracks,
abrasions, thin spots or excessive wear spots. Replace if
necessary.
3. Inspect the belt for hour glassing (extreme circular wear in
at least one spot an on both sides of the belt). Hour glassing
occurs when the drive train does not move and the drive
clutch engages the belt. Example would be taking off while
the track is frozen to the ground. Remember to always
warm up the track and free it from the ground.
