INSPECTION
WITHOUT USING BELT TENSION GAUGE
1. Replace the belts, if cracks, fraying or wear is found.





2. Check the drive belt tension and adjust it if necessary by changing generator installing position and/or idler pulley installing position.

WITH USING BELT TENSION GAUGE
1. Replace the belts, if cracks, fraying or wear is found.
2. Remove the T-belt cover and radiator reservoir tank.





3. Check the belt tension using belt tension gauge. And adjust it if necessary by changing the generator installing position and/or idler pulley installing position.
