When replacing one belt the other should be inspected for wear and

replaced if worn. It is good practice to change both belts when either

is worn beyond use. Use only original equipment belts for replace-

ment. Billy Goat uses only premium quality, kevlar corded and coated

belts in your unit. Substitute belts do not meet the design and

performance requirements for your unit , and will greatly reduce

machine performance and belt life.
