Engine BeltsRULES OF V-BELT TENSIONING• The ideal tension is the lowest tension at which the belt will not slip under peak load conditions.• Check the belt tension frequently during the first 24-48 hours of run-in operation.• Do not over-tension belts. This shortens belt and bearing life.• Keep belts free from foreign material, which may cause slippage.• Inspect the V-drive periodically. Retension belts if they are slipping.• Maintain sheave alignment with a strong straight-edge tool while tensioning V-belts.V-BELT MAINTENANCEV-belt drive maintenance is not complicated. Inspecting a V-belt is simply a matter of looking and listening.After belt installation or maintenance, inspect the drive and watch it run.What to Look forOil and Grease Liquids will increase the chance a belt will fail prematurelyDirtImpairs traction and increases belt wearAdded Loads Shorten belt lifeBelt Guards Ensure cleanliness and safetyCracking Does not reduce tensile strength; larger sheaves and idlers may reduce crackingBelt Dressing Do not use any type of belt dressingVibration AKA "Whipping"; Caused by not enough tensionHeatCauses overcuring, which will shorten belt lifeTensionProper tension on belts is importantBelt Turnover Indicates misalignment, worn sheaves or excessive vibrationChange in Rideout Indicates uneven belt wear or worn sheavesLateral Vibration AKA "Snaking"; Indicates not enough tensionBelt Wear Wear on belt side-walls indicates consistant slippage, excessive dust or rough sheavesForeign Matter Can cause excessive wear or breakageWhat to Listen forSquealChirp or SqueakUsually indicates insufficient belt tension or overloadingUsually indicates a dry bearing; realigning the idler may helpUse ShieldsAvoidOverheatingRemove DirtSnakingWhippingENGINEMUO Description Serial No. Part No.OLIVERSuper 55, Super 66, Fan Drive M372VSuper 7766, 77 Fan Drive - Regular M372VFan Drive - Heavy DutyMR372V550 Fan Drive - w/ Power Steering SN 60501 - SN 72831 M372VEff.
