3-7. Gaskets, Environmental. Inspect for water or foreign matter in compartments or areas that should be sealed.
Rubber weather/stripping from civilian vehicles or any rubber hose securely glued and sealed will stop leaks. Canvas or
rubber inner tubes will also seal the system. These seals will prevent excessive water and air leaks but may not provide
adequate NBC protection.

Section lll. BELTS
3-8. General. V-belts provide direct drive and can be substituted or replaced if the basic factors about
each belt is considered. Substitute belts must be wide enough to prevent bottoming in the pulley "V" and of the correct
length to maintain tension. Inspect width and length of the belt. Smaller, narrower belts may be substituted or V-belts
may be taken from one generator if there are twin belt drives. Direct generator-to-generator removal and installation is a
simple method of replacing missing belts.
