If you don't have one you can get it on Ballantynes web site. Megasystems manualOr you can call them 1-800-424-1215 I don't remember what spares you have, as your machine was installed locally by techs there in Isreal. But usually we provided a complete set of belts in the spares kit.

Any dealer can get them for you, I don't remember the list price, but they were pricey from Strong. Raphael, Have you changed the belts before, or are these the original? Just be aware that you have to time the intermittents when you remove belt #3.

Larry's a good guy, give him a call. Like I said, any dealer can sell you the parts. When I get parts, I can't buy direct, so I just go through a Strong dealer. If you just need the belt specs, let me know, I may be able to sweet talk Strong into giving me the info.
