There will be a few cracks before the belt breaks, and the grooves in the belt will become shallower.
The generator belt has cracks, splits and peeling. This situation is caused by incorrect installation position, uneven force or corrosion, or it may be caused by the aging and hardening of the motor belt after too long use.
When the generator belt is almost 2 years old, or when it has traveled 60,000 kilometers. The lifespan of a general engine belt is 2 years or 60,000 kilometers, so it should be replaced when the specified maintenance period expires. You should not wait until it breaks before replacing it, as this can easily present a danger.
Precautions for maintaining the motor belt
When the tension is too high, it is easy to damage the bearingsof various auxiliary machines. If the tension is insufficient, the belt also tends to slip. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust in time, loosen the relevant adjusting nuts or bolts, and adjust the belt tension to the best condition.
Pay attention to belt wear: If the belt is heavily worn, the contact area between the belt and pulley will be greatly reduced. As long as you press hard on the belt, the belt will sink into the groove of the pulley. Of course, belts also have aging problems. If the belt rubber is seriously aged, it should be replaced in time.

What are the symptoms of an overtightened generator belt? Symptoms of an overtightened generator belt: The belt is stuck and requires more power to turn; it enteredwill place a large radial load on the motor shaft and make it prone to fatigue, this will affect the life of the belt; easily damage the motor bearings. If it is too loose, it will cause slippage and abnormal noise; the belt will suffer early wear and affect its lifespan. This causes underloading of the motor and battery life; engine jitter, insufficient power, high fuel consumption, high water temperature and other phenomena may occur. Signs of generator belt replacement: 1. When the generator belt is running, it makes a noise: This situation is caused by the engine belt being too loose or the installation position is uncertain. If there is a sliding noise, it is. it is better to check it in time. 2. Generator belt has cracks, cracks and peeling: This is caused bycaused by uneven force or corrosion due to incorrect installation position, or it may also be caused by the aging and hardening of the motor belt due to too long use. 3. When the use life of the generator belt is approaching 2 years or when the driving time is 60,000 kilometers: the general engine belt life is 2 years or 60,000 kilometers, it should therefore be replaced when the specified service period is in place. Replacement is required. You should not wait until it breaks before replacing it, as this can easily present a danger. @2019
