The pulleys have no sharp edges and the belt is not too tight.

    In the old days we used to apply belt soap, not sure if you can still get it tho

    Use a belt dressing. It will keep the material hydrated and prevent the shredding from wear. There are specialized products for this, but using a glycerine soap works well.
