Diagnostic Information
If the drive belt has repeatedly slipped off the pulley (ov), then it may be caused by misalignment of the pulley.
Additional load that has been quickly applied or released by the accessory drive can also cause the drive belt to slip. Verify that the accessory drive components are working properly.
If the drive belt is not the correct length, the tensioner may not be able to provide the required belt tension.
Description of the test
The numbers below refer to the operations in the diagnostic table:
2. This inspection is performed to check the condition of the drive belt. If the drive belt slipped, it could be damaged. Inspect the belt for cuts, breaks, damaged belt layers, or missing rib sections.
4. Misalignment of the accessory drive pulleys may be caused by incorrect installation of the accessory drive pulley itself or the accessory drive component, or the pulley may have been bent during a previous repair. Check the alignment of the pulleys on the plane by applying a ruler to the grooves of two or three pulleys. If an offset pulley is found, verify that the mounting and dismounting procedures for that accessory drive pulley match.
5. Pulley Inspection (ov) accessory drive must include an inspection for kinks, dents, or other damage that would prevent the drive belt from properly fitting into the pulley grooves or from resting on a smooth surface when the back of the drive belt is used to drive the pulley.
6. Bent or cracked accessory drive component brackets can also cause the drive belt to slip.
7. Inspection of fasteners will help eliminate the possibility of incorrectly installing a bolt, nut, gasket, or washer. Missing, loose, or inappropriate fasteners can cause the pulley to align with the bracket (ami) accessory drives when operating under load. Over-tightening the fasteners can cause the bracket to skew (ov) accessory component.
