Visually examine the V-belts (Figure 9) and determine if
they have any tiny cracks, frayed, has pieces of rubber
missing, is peeling or otherwise damaged.
Also, examine the belts and determine if they are
oil
soaked
or "
glazed
" (hard shiny appearance on the sides
of the belt). Either of these two conditions can cause the
belts to run hot, which can weaken them and increase the
danger of it breaking.
