Installation Notes

Belt replacement should be performed by a qualified technician after de-energizing and locking out all power to the equipment per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Loosen the motor mount or tensioner before removing the worn belt, then route the new belt over the pulleys without using tools to force it on, which can damage the belt cords. Check pulley alignment with a straightedge before tensioning, and set final belt tension per the equipment manufacturer's specifications. Inspect pulleys for wear, grooving, or corrosion before installing the new belt.
