Belts transmit drive from the crankshaft to the alternator, water pump, cooling fan and other accessories, so belt condition determines the reliability of everything downstream. This group covers v-belts and multi-rib belts, tensioners, idler and jockey pulleys, and mounting brackets. On continuous-duty engines belts accumulate running hours far faster than on intermittent applications, so replacement is scheduled by operating hours as part of the maintenance regime rather than left to inspection. Because a CHP module runs unattended for long periods, a belt failure that would be noticed immediately on a manned machine can go undetected until a protection device trips.

Continuous running accumulates hours very quickly, and unattended operation means a failure may not be noticed until a protection device trips. Scheduled replacement avoids that.
Yes, as standard practice. Automatic tensioners lose spring tension and damping with age and shorten the life of a new belt.
Insufficient tension, a worn or seized idler, pulley misalignment, or oil and coolant contamination on the belt face.
