Drive Belt: Adjustments

Tension Adjustment







CAUTION: When belt is replaced with a new one, adjust it to value for "New belt" to accommodate for insufficient adaptability with pulley grooves.
When deflection or tension of belt being used exceeds "Used belt limit", adjust it to value for "Used belt".
When checking belt deflection or tension immediately after installation, first adjust it to the specified value. Then, after turning the crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust to the specified value to avoid variation in deflection between pulleys.
When installing belt, make sure that it is correctly engaged with pulley groove.
GKeep oil and water away from belt.
Do not twist or bend belt excessively.
