Compatibility and Fitment
Check that the unit is a Spectrum SL before ordering, then confirm you are replacing the idler to fanshaft belt because these systems also use separate belts in other drive positions. This cross-reference listing means this part is a suitable replacement for the part numbers and applications shown. Some changes in installation may be required. 78-1988, 781988, CP10516, 78-1274, 781274, 78-1489, 781489, 78-1952, 781952, 2C39205H67, 1E11111H54
Compliance and Safety
Shut the unit down before fitting the belt, and keep clear of rotating pulleys and driven shafts during inspection. After installation, set belt tension correctly, confirm pulley alignment, and inspect belt tracking again after initial run time because poor alignment can shorten belt life.
Trailer Applications
Thermo King Spectrum SL Fanshaft Belt suits Spectrum SL transport refrigeration service work where the fan drive belt needs direct replacement. It also makes sense as a workshop spare when the unit needs planned belt service and the fan drive position shows visible wear.
