Drive Belt: Adjustments
1. Check that the belts are not damaged and fit properly into the pulley grooves.
CAUTION:
1. When installing the V-ribbed belt, check that the V-ribs are properly aligned.
2. If noise or slippage is detected, check the belt for wear, damage, or breakage on the pulley contact surface, and check the pulley for scoring.
Also check for the proper belt deflection measurement.
2. Apply 100 Nm (22 lbs.) force to the belt back midway between the pulleys as shown in the illustration, measure the amount of deflection with a
tension gauge.
NOTE: The belt tension must be measured between the specified pulleys. When a new belt is installed, adjust the tension to the center of the standard
range indicated under" New." Let the engine idle for 5 minutes or more, and check the standard value indicated under "Inspection." When adjusting a
used belt or a newly installed belt after 5 minutes or more of operation, refer to the standard value indicated under "Used." Refer to the standard value
indicated under "Inspection" for periodic inspections.
Adjustment
1. If the mean indicator is positioned over the max. position, replace the drive belt.
2. When replacing the drive belt, must position the mean indicator between min. position and max. position.
