Drive Belt: Adjustments
DRIVE BELT ADJUSTMENTGenerator Drive Belt
1. Remove the engine cover.
2. Loosen generator installation bolt A and locknut B.
3. Adjust the drive belt deflection and tension by turning adjusting bolt C to the specification.
Drive belt deflection (with pressure of 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbs.) 4.5 - 5.0 mm (0.18 - 0.19 inch)
Drive belt tension (when using the SST) 519 - 666 N (53.0 - 67.9 kgf, 117 - 149 lbs.)
4. Tighten generator installation bolt A and locknut B to the specified torque.
Tightening torque
A: 38 - 51 Nm (3.9 - 5.2 kgf-cm, 29 - 37 ft. lbs.)
B: 20 - 30 Nm (2.1 - 3.0 kgf-cm, 15 - 22 ft. lbs.)
5. Crank the engine and measure the deflection and tension again. If not within the specification, repeat from Step 2 again.
6. Install the engine cover.
A/C Drive Belt
1. Remove the engine cover.
2. Loosen idle pulley locknut A.
3. Adjust the drive belt deflection and tension by turning adjusting bolt B to the specification.
Drive belt deflection (with pressure of 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbs.) 3.3 - 4.0 mm (0.13 - 0.15 inch)
Drive belt tension (when using the SST) 519 - 617 N (53.0 - 62.9 kgf, 117 - 138 lbs.)
4. Tighten idle pulley locknut A to the specified torque.
Tightening torque 37.2 - 51.9 Nm (3.80 - 5.29 kgf-cm, 27.5 - 38.2 ft. lbs.)
5. Crank the engine and measure the deflection and tension again. If not within the specification, repeat from Step 2 again.
6. Install the engine cover.
