6.1 Inspecting the Belt
Remove the pulley cover and visually inspect the belt.
Durability of the timing belt is affected significantly by the operating condition, and there is no standard
guideline as to when the belt should be replaced. Generally, the belt is designed to withstand several
millions of flexing loads. As a practical guideline, replace the timing belt when any of the conditions
listed below is observed:
(If the belt needs to be replaced, please contact IAI's Engineering Service Section or Sales Section.)
x The teeth and end faces of the belt have worn significantly.
x The belt has swollen due to deposits of oil, etc.
x Cracks and other damages are found on the teeth or back of the belt.
x The belt has broken.
(If the belt needs to be replaced, please contact IAI’s Engineering Service Section or Sales Section.)
