INSTALLATION
Belt tension is not adjustable. Belt adjustment is maintained by an automatic (spring load) belt tensioner.
1. Check condition of all pulleys.
CAUTION: When installing the serpentine accessory drive belt, the belt MUST be routed correctly. If not, the engine may overheat due to the
water pump rotating in the wrong direction (Fig. 55) (Fig. 56).
2. Install new belt (Fig. 55) (Fig. 56). Route the belt around all pulleys except the idler pulley. Rotate the tensioner arm until it contacts its stop
position. Route the belt around the idler and slowly let the tensioner rotate into the belt. Make sure the belt is seated onto all pulleys.
