Installation Notes and Tips

Verify belt routing, pulley alignment, and the required length before installation. Compare the old belt’s dimensions and section profile to the Gates 9680HD, especially if the vehicle uses an HC50 heavy-duty V-belt specification. Inspect idlers, tensioners, and accessory pulleys for wear before installing the new belt, since pulley damage can shorten belt life.
