Inspection and Repair

Drive Plate

If the frictional surface shows signs of damage due to
excessive heat, the drive plate and pulley should be
replaced.

Check the appearance of the pulley assembly.  If the
frictional surface of the pulley shows signs of excessive
grooving due to slippage, both the pulley and drive plate
should be replaced.  The frictional surfaces of the pulley
assembly should be cleaned with a suitable solvent
before reinstallation.

Coil

Check coil for loose connector or cracked insulation.
