Problem

Belt will not track
Edge wear

Cause

• Mechanical problem - Pulleys out of alignment/Bad Bearing
• Crooked splice, belt out of square
• Material build up on pulley
• Off center loading
• Improper crown or pulley
• Damaged belt
• Uneven moisture absorption in belt from storage
• Cambered belt
