4. With available take-up tighten belts enough to keep from slipping during operation. Ideal belt tension is the
lowest tension at which the belt will not slip under peak load conditions. The drive side of the belt(s) should be
straight across and the slack side should show a slight bow.
5. Do not place new belt(s) on worn sheaves.
6. If multiple belts are used, replace all belts with a new set or matched belts.
7. Do not use belt dressing on belt(s) which are slipping. Belt dressing will damage the belt and cause early
failure. Tighten belt(s) to proper tension, or if dirty, clean the belt(s) with a commercial rubber solvent.
