Replace the drive belt. Also inspect pulleys for proper alignment and remove any debris from the pulley surface areas. When installing the new belt, note that the belt is not as wide as the pulley. The belt needs to be installed on the rear-most group of grooves to ensure proper alignment. Failure to pay attention to this will result in premature belt wear.
