INSPECT DRIVE BELT





Visually check the belt for excessive wear, frayed cords etc. If any defect has been found, replace the drive belt.

HINT: Cracks on the rib side of a belt are considered acceptable. If the missing chunks from the ribs are found on the belt, it should be replaced.





HINT:
- After installing a belt, check that it fits properly in the ribbed grooves.
- Check with your hand to confirm that the belt has not slipped out of the groove on the bottom of the pulley.
- After installing a new belt, run the engine for about 5 minutes and recheck the belt tension.
