Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection

INSPECT V-RIBBED BELT






a. Belt deflection:
Pressing force: 98 N (10 kgf, 221 lbs.)





b. Tension:

Belt tension gauge:
DENSO BTG-20 (95506-00020)
Borroughts No. BT-33-73F

NOTICE:
- Check the drive belt deflection at the specified point.
- When installing a new belt, set its tension value as specified.
- When checking a belt used for over 5 minutes, confirm the deflection value is within the specified one.
- When reinstalling a belt used for over 5 minutes, perform the check based on the used deflection value.
- V-ribbed belt tension and deflection value should be checked after 2 revolutions of engine cranking.
- When using a belt tension gauge, confirm the accuracy first by using a master gauge.
