BELT DEFLECTION CHECKS
Apply approximately 98 N (22 lb) of force to the middle of the drive belt between the pulleys (at the place indicated by the arrow) and check that the
amount of deflection is within the standard value.
Standard value
if the tension or deflection is outside the standard value, adjust by the procedure.
