Common Problems This Belt May Correct

  • Startup squeal, chirp or belt slip
  • Weak airflow or a blower running below normal speed
  • Black belt dust around the sheaves
  • A cracked, glazed, stretched, frayed or hardened belt

Check Before Ordering

  • Read the complete number printed on the old belt whenever possible.
  • Confirm the 1/2-inch A/4L profile and 42-inch outside-length designation.
  • Inspect both sheaves for worn, widened, polished or damaged grooves.
  • Check shaft alignment, bearing drag and the tensioning system.
Pro Tip: A new belt will not permanently stop noise caused by worn sheaves, misalignment or failing bearings. Correct the drive problem first, then set final tension to the equipment specification.

Installation Notes

  1. Disconnect and lock out electrical power.
  2. Release belt tension according to the service instructions.
  3. Do not pry the belt over a pulley; create enough slack.
  4. Clean and align the sheaves, then set specified tension.
  5. Rotate by hand, reinstall guards, restore power and test.
