Drive Belt: Adjustments

Belt Tension, Automatically Tensioned Belts 

Belt Tensioner

The automatic belt tensioner will maintain correct belt tension if the correct length belt is on the engine. To verify that the tensioner is working, check to
see that the belt length indicator mark on the tensioner is between the maximum and minimum marks.

The automatic belt tensioner has no provision for adjustment and will be damaged if forced to travel beyond its operating range.
