Every couple of meetings I spray the belt with brake cleaner/motor spray and use an old toothbrush across it to remove some of the crud that builds up. |

All I do is check the pulleys for any grit/stones that might be stuck in the teeth. And check the belts/pulleys for damage. But usually I do a whole season on one set of belts and pulleys, so very minimal maintenance required. |

Depends what surface you run on, on carpet I never even look but outdoor our track is really dusty with lots of tiny stones and therefore I check pulleys/belts and clean between heats |
