The Gates 1696-8MGT is a PowerGrip GT4 timing belt with an 8MGT profile, an 8 mm pitch and a 1696 mm length. Before you fit it, inspect the drive and sheaves so the new belt runs true.
Check sheave grooves for wear, burrs or debris, confirm the sheaves are aligned and that the shafts turn freely. A worn or misaligned sheave can damage a new belt quickly, so correct any issues before installation.
Confirm the part number on the back of the old belt matches 1696-8MGT, and verify the profile and length against your drive. With the belt removed, inspect the sheaves and replace any that are worn or damaged.
