🔍 Key Concepts

• V-belt/drive belt friction and tension on rotating machinery like compressors • Effects of lubricants on belt traction and potential for slippage or fire risk • Typical maintenance procedure when belts squeal (what squealing usually indicates)

💭 Think About

• What does a squealing sound usually tell you about the contact between a belt and a pulley—too much slip or too much grip? • If you add oil to a friction drive, what happens to the belt’s ability to transmit power? • In normal maintenance practice, when a belt is slipping and squealing, what adjustment is usually checked and corrected first?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any choice that would reduce friction where friction is required to transmit power. • Consider whether any option could create a safety hazard (oil on belts near heat, rotating machinery). • Think about standard engine-room practice: when belts squeal, what simple adjustment is usually made before replacing parts?
