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-m, 29-37 ft. lbs.)
B: 18.6-25.5 Nm (1.90-2.60 kgf-m, 13.8-18.8 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.

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-m, 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.
