Installation Notes

V-belt replacement should be performed by a qualified technician. Always disconnect and lock out power to the equipment before removing any belt guards or accessing drive components. When installing, do not pry or force the belt over sheave flanges; adjust the drive to allow slack for proper seating, then tension according to the equipment manufacturer's specifications. Inspect sheaves for wear or misalignment before installing a new belt to avoid premature failure.
