Firstly, the tension and general condition of the belt should be
checked. This step is very useful to ensure whether the vehicle is in
proper condition. When inspecting the drive belt, you should pay
attention to many aspects. For instance, cracks, the presence of frays,
and missing ribs, etc. Any of these problems should be dealt with.
Secondly, you should ensure that you inspect the entire length of the
belt surface. Except the above mentioned elements, sometimes, vehicles
may produce a squealing sound which may be a sign of losing or wearing
out of it. This is because a loose belt may slip and subsequently
produce a squealing sound, causing the alternator to vibrate rapidly,
thereby wearing it out more easily. If the sign of wearing out is quite
obvious, it is better to replace the drive belt to ensure the safety.
Addition to the above aspects, it is also very important to inspect the
drive belts before problems appear. If there is any problem with the
drive belt, you should find out the reasons. And you should replace the
drive belt if necessary. The proper status of the drive belt may ensure
that the vehicle can run under a good situation.
