D. 
5.
Belt noise is a bigger complaint today than ever before. This is because today’s rubber compounds __________.

Are softer and more prone to tension decay
B. 
Run hotter, and prone to expansion of the ribs
C. 
Are stiffer and prone to slip around small pulleys
D. 
Are stiffer in cold weather, and less resistant to pulley misalignment
6.
The primary cause of belt noise in an accessory drive system is usually the belt.
7.
The #1 cause for belt noise is __________.

A. 
Accessories are spaced apart
B. 
There is only one belt in the drive
C. 
There are no aggressive directional changes in the belt path
11.
___________ is described as a high pitched noise, typically lasting several seconds in duration that will typically increase in volume as the engine speed increases
12.
___________ is described as a sharp, high-pitched, repetitive noise of short duration, usually worse at low engine speeds (idle).
13.

A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
14.
The drive is running and you spray the rib side of the belt with water; if the noise goes away, it is ___________.
A. 
Chirp caused by misalignment
B. 
Squeal caused by low belt tension
15.
The drive is running and you spray the rib side of the belt with water; if the noise gets louder, it is ___________.
A. 
Chirp caused by misalignment
B. 
Squeal caused by low belt tension
16.
“Check alignment of all pulleys, either with a straight edge or a laser alignment tool.” This is a possible solution for __________.
A. 
Chirp caused by misalignment
B. 
Squeal caused by low belt tension
17.
“Insure all accessory pulleys and brackets are tightened snug to mounting surfaces.” This is a possible solution for __________.
A. 
Chirp caused by misalignment
B. 
Squeal caused by low belt tension
18.
“Inspect and replace all accessories/pulleys that are difficult to rotate (i.e. Rough/seized bearings), or show excessive wobble/free-rock.” This is a possible solution for __________.
A. 
Chirp caused by misalignment
B. 
Squeal caused by low belt tension
19.
Since any existing misalignment condition will cause pre-mature wear of the belt ribs, a new belt is recommended once the accessory drive is realigned.
20.
Which of the following IS NOT a cause of squeal?
A. 
High accessory/idler pulley drag
B. 
Fluid contamination on the belt
C. 
Power steering pulley misalignment
D. 
21.
Belts installed on manual tensioned applications should be properly tensioned during installation (35 lbs per rib) and then re-tensioned after 5 minutes of run-in (30 lbs per rib). This allows the belt to __________.
A. 
Stretch to the proper length
B. 
C. 
Conform to any minor misalignments in the drive
22.

A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
24.

A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
25.
This is a profile of a worn EPDM belt. Since the grooves have more of a “U” shape instead of the original “V” shape, __________.
A. 
The wider space can handle misalignment more easily
B. 
The extra air space lets the belt run cooler
C. 
There is less surface area to contact the pulley grooves, causing slippage
