    Installation and maintenance information

    for v-belts, ribbed belts and timing belts

    To ensure optimum performance, there are a number of aspects to consider with regard to the installation, maintenance and storage of Optibelt v-belts.

    Possible malfunctions and remedies
    Safety Tips
    • Please observe installation regulations and safety instructions supplied by the manufacturer of the car
    • Please only perform installation of the drive belts with special tools and a minimum exertion of force. The use of screwdrivers, crowbars or such tools is prohibited
    • Do not treat the control unit components with corrosive chemicals. Belts must not come into contact with oil or similar substances
    • Fill in the timing belt adhesive label legibly and attach it firmly in the engine compartment
    • If individual components are faulty, the other components must also be replaced
    Storage
    • Store timing belts dry and at +15 to +25ºC.
    • Improper storage, e.g. exposure to oxygen, light, extreme temperatures or moisture, can change the physical properties and render the V-belt unusable
    • Until the V-belts are used, they should be stored in their original packaging and free of tension
    • Do not exceed a height of 300 mm when stacking the belts, otherwise deformation may occur
