INSTALLATION

NOTE: Wipe off any oil or water on the belt and pulley.

a. FRONT SIDE BELT
1. Install the belt (C), and tighten the slider bolt so as to obtain the specified belt tension
2. Tighten the lock bolt (A).
3. Tighten the slider bolt (B).
Tightening torque:
Lock bolt through bolt. 25 Nm (2.5 kgf-m, 18.4 ft. lbs.)
Slider bolt: 8 Nm (0.8 kgf-m, 5.9 ft. lbs.)





4. Idle the engine for approximately 5 min. to normalize the V-belt. (With using tension gauge)
5. Stop the engine, and then check the belt tension and adjust it. (With using tension gauge)
6. Idle the engine for approximately 1 min. to normalize the V-belt. (With using tension gauge)
7. Stop the engine, and then check that the belt tension is within specified value. (With using tension gauge)
8. Adjust the belt tension within the specification. (With using tension gauge)

2. REAR SIDE BELT
1. Install the belt, and tighten the slider bolt (B) so as to obtain the specified belt tension.
2. Tighten the lock nut (A).
Tightening torque:
Lock nut (A): 23 Nm (2.3 kgf-m, 17.0 ft. lbs.)





3. Idle the engine for approximately 5 min. to normalize the V-belt. (With using tension gauge)
4. Stop the engine, and then check the belt tension and adjust it. (With using tension gauge)
5. Idle the engine for approximately 1 min. to normalize the V-belt. (With using tension gauge)
6. Stop the engine, and then check the belt tension is within specified value. (With using tension gauge)
7. Adjust the belt tension within the specification. (With using tension gauge)

INSPECTION
a. Replace the belts, if cracks, fraying or wear are found.
b. Check the V-belt tension and adjust it if necessary by changing generator installing position and/ or idler pulley installing position.
Belt tension (without using belt tension gauge) (A)
replaced. 7 - 9 mm (0.276 - 0.354 inch)
reused. 9 - 11 mm (0.354 - 0.433 inch)
(B)
replaced. 7.5 - 8.5 mm (0.295 - 0.335 inch)
reused. 9.0 - 10.0 mm (0.354 - 0.394 inch)





Belt tension (with using belt tension gauge)
(A) 490 - 640 Nm (50 - 65 kgf, 110 - 144 ft. lbs.)
(B) 350 - 450 Nm (36 - 46 kgf, 79 - 101 ft. lbs.)
