Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: How do I know when my drive belt needs replacing? A: Common signs include slipping under acceleration, a burning rubber smell, or visible cracks and glazing on the belt surface. Inspecting the belt width against the wear limit is the most reliable check.

Q: Should I replace anything else at the same time? A: It is wise to inspect the clutch sheaves and rollers for wear whenever a drive belt is replaced. Worn clutch components can shorten the life of a new belt.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
