Don't use belt dressing!! Our belts are made to run
dry. You can use a bit of spray brake cleaner on the
belt and pulley to get the dressing off. Or, get yourself
a Goodyear Gatorback belt, they don't squeal.

Hey guys, I replaced the belt with a Gates belt and all problems are fixed. It seems that the belt I had was shot. Good luck, oh, DO NOT use belt dressing, it just makes things worse.
