## In short

Loose belts make noise and slip: check the belt tension and the pulley alignment.

- Tension is adjusted with the bolts on the motor frame.
- The pulleys must be aligned both crosswise and lengthwise.
- When replacing, use only new belts of the same brand and never mix them with used belts.
- Cracks, cuts or uneven wear mean it is time to replace the belts and check the pulleys.
