Each groove on the drive belt rests inside a matching groove in the pulley.





2. When installing a new drive belt, observe the indicator on the tensioner.
A new drive belt should fall inside this range.





3. When installing a used drive belt, observe the indicator on the tensioner.
A used drive belt should fall inside this range.
