V-Belt Installation Checklist

As a general rule, sheave misalignment on V-belt drives should be less than


degree or 1/10 per foot of drive center distance. Misalignment for synchronous,
Polyflex and Micro-V belts should be within degree or 1/16 per foot of drive
center distance.
The greater the misalignment, the greater the chance of belt instability, increased
belt wear and V-belt turnover.

Turn off and lock out power source. Observe all other safety
procedures.

Select proper replacement belts.

Remove belt guard.
