I found out the belt was directional AFTER I had put a new OEM belt on Sat. and had put everything back together.
I pulled it all apart again yesterday to make sure the arrows on the belt pointed to the rear of the Rhino....50-50 chance and I got lucky.
Just posting this so others who (like me) did not know the belt was directional will not have the same waste of time or a belt problem....does it really make a difference which way the belt goes? Anyone have a problem with a backwards belt?

I'm sure there is some high tech engineerd reason?...should work eather way?...but why chance it...probley how the layers are bonded together kind of the V shape tread on directional tires

it's the molecular structure of the ribs on the belt. centrifugal force bonds them and makes it very strong.







hahaha that sounds pretty good eh?

It Probably has to do with the way the reinforcing fabric is wrapped in the construction process. That and the way the belt will stretch and expand under load. I suppose it would make a slight difference in how well the belt survives some extreme abuse.

from what i know (heard), the belt is not directional. the reason for the arrow is for a reference point to put the belt back on the same way if you have to take it off.
