Recommendation

Do not go below initial elongation (epsilon) ~ 0.3%, Install the slack belt and tension until running perfectly under the full belt load

​Store spare belts in a cool and dry place and if possible in their original packaging. Protect spare belts from sunlight/UV-radiation/dust/dirt! Check Link for Storage requirements: "https://tdm.habasit.com/pds/en-us/Storage%20of%20Habasit%20material.pdf"
