Belts Not Eligible for Warranty Replacement

The following illustrations are belts damaged by an accumulation of crop and/or foreign objects on top of compressor rack and between belts in the starter roll area. A small slug of the buildup passes between the lower drive roll and the belt, which forces the belt into the starter roll. The bars of the starter roll remove chunks of rubber from the belt and/or tear the belt fabric.
