Squealing During Forward Operation

\n

Quick Check: Inspect the belt and pulleys for glazing, misalignment, or debris.

\n

Fix Suggestion: Clean the pulley area and verify that the belt tracks correctly through the drive system.

\n

Prevention Tip: Confirm belt alignment when performing routine drive-system maintenance.

\n

Weak Forward Movement

\n
