Adjustment Procedure:
1. Install the timing belt tensioner and tensioner bolt loosely enough for the adjuster to rotate. Ensure the stopper is resting against the lower seal cap on the cylinder head.
2. Install the timing belt over the applicable sprockets in this order. Crankshaft Sprocket (A) > Idler Pulley (B) > Camshaft Sprocket (C) > Timing Belt Tensioner (D). Ensure there is no slack in the belt between the two shafts.
3. Check the alignment marks on each sprocket. Refer to shop manual for your specific model.
4. Remove the lock pin which holds the tensioner arm in place during shipping.
5. Using a 6 mm hex wrench (F), turn the adjuster counterclockwise to make the indicator of the arm (G) line up with the notch on the base (H) and tighten the tensioner bolt.
(Tightening Torque: 22-28 Nm, 16-21 lb-ft)
CAUTION:
Do not rotate the tensioner clockwise as it will permanently damage the tensioner.
