Inspect Belt Surface (cuts, tears, fraying, surface damage, material buildup)
Belt Tracking/Alignment: Make sure belt is centered and tracking properly.
Electric Motor: Check motor housing, wiring, and mounting.
Is the motor running smoothly? Check for signs of overheating, vibrations, or unusual noises.
Gearbox: Check for any oil leaks, cracks, or damage to housing, and confirm oil level.
Is the gearbox running normally? Check for any unusual activity or noises.
Check pulleys for wear or buildup, and confirm they are secure. Check Head, Tail, Bend, and Take-up Pulleys.
Check that Idlers are rotating freely without excessive noise.
Check bearings for grease leaks and cracked housings, confirm lubrication is still sufficient.
