Drive Belt Tension Check

A ``New Belt'' refers to a belt which has been on a running engine less than 5 minutes. A ``Used Belt'' refers to a belt which has been on a running engine for more than 5 minutes. After installing the drive belt, ensure it fits properly in the ribbed grooves.

Using a belt tension gauge, ensure drive belt tension is 100-150 lbs. for new belts or 60-100 lbs. for used belts.
