Does the generator belt need to be replaced if it has slight cracks?

[StFaith]

Generator belt with slight cracks needs replacement. The function of the car generator belt is power transmission. If the belt breaks, it can cause the engine to lose power and stop, and in severe cases, it may even damage the engine. Maintenance precautions for car generator belts: 1. Tightness: After driving a certain mileage, adjust the tightness of the generator belt appropriately, then fix the calibration screws as needed. The bracket screws of the generator should maintain a certain tightness. 2. Bearing wear: Pay attention to the wear level of the bearings. If insufficient lubrication is found, a few drops of oil can be added from the oil cup opening, but be careful not to let it seep into the rectifier, as this could affect power transmission efficiency. 3. Brushes: If the contact surface of the brush is uneven, it can be smoothed with fine sandpaper. If the spring lacks elasticity or the brush is excessively worn, new parts must be replaced. If the brush is too short but not damaged, a gasket can be inserted into the bracket to ensure it fits tightly with the rectifier.
