What was the belt tension set at?
What position was the switch at ON or OFF?

I did visual check the belt and it not seem loose at all it had very little play maybe 1/8 to an 1/4 inch of play. I assumed that would be great but hey what do they say assumed it is usualy wrong. But as far as the switch it was i guess you would call it off it was facing the rear of the wheeler and I once again guess that is correct because I tried changeing it to on and still no change on the belt light flashing.

Belt tension & deflection amount: Spec is 22 to 27 mm when applying 14 lbs of force in the middle.

Switch is normally at ON position.
Your belt hit it to OFF position.
Just flipping the switch will NOT shut off the flashing belt light.

&gt; You need a new belt or adust the tension to reduce the belt deflection.
&gt; Then you MUST do the belt light cancelling procedure in addition to flipping the belt switch to ON position. Do a search and you will find a ton of info.

Get a manual.
