Remove the old belts and THOROUGHLY clean the plastic rollers of any rubber crud, oil, grease, etc. and then install the new rubber TREAD SIDE OUT on both rollers. These belts will last FAR longer than the other types of belts for this application. They will run a bit noisier (a pleasant whirrrrr) but operate much better. -Aaron  |  IP: Logged Scott Manley Film Handler Posts: 59 From: Austin, TX USA Registered: May 2001 posted 02-18-2005 02:15 PM                     Thanks Aaron.........knew it was some kind of vacuum belt....but appreciate the info.  |  IP: Logged Steve Wilson Expert Film Handler Posts: 109 From: Paoli, IN, USA Registered: May 2004 posted 02-20-2005 06:09 PM                        I was having trouble with my unit throwing the belts off and i wraped the plastic wheel with double stick cleat tape and the problem came to a end!  |  IP: Logged Adam Wilbert Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 590 From: Bellingham, WA, USA Registered: Mar 2002 posted 02-20-2005 07:26 PM                        I had better luck with the belts running with the tread in, and the smooth surfaces in contact with eachother. Tread out tended to abrade the new belts and I had a lot of rubber shavings falling onto the platters after a few shows.  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 02-21-2007 04:16 PM                 It has been 730 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Barry Floyd Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1079 From: Lebanon, Tennessee, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 02-21-2007 04:16 PM                        Anybody know if there's a vacuum cleaner belt replacement for the drive tires on a Strong AP3 ??  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 02-21-2007 06:19 PM                        One of the truly cheap parts available from any cinema dealer!
