• Ensuring straight belt splices. • Ensuring the structure and idlers are correctly aligned. • Correctly manufactured belt i.e. equal tension across full belt width and the carcass is straight. • Correct spacing of idlers. • Employing training idlers. • Sufficient belt tension. Note: It is usually acceptable for the overlap to rotate approximately 20to either side of the top-dead-center.
