Inspection

Inspect the drive belt for signs of glazing or cracking. A glazed belt will be perfectly smooth from slippage, while a good belt will have a slight texture of fabric visible. Cracks will usually start at the inner edge of the belt and run outward. All worn or damaged drive belts should be replaced immediately.

Visually check the belt for excessive wear and frayed cords. Cracks on the rib side of a belt are considered acceptable. If the belt has chunks missing from the ribs, it should be replaced. If any defect has been found, replace the drive belt. Ensure the belt fits properly in the ribbed grooves. Check with your hand to confirm that the belt has not slipped out of the groove on the bottom of the pulley.
