Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection
Checking Drive Belts
1. Inspect belts for cracks, fraying, wear and oil. If necessary, replace.
2. Inspect drive belt deflection or tension at a point on the belt midway between pulleys.
-
Check belt tension using belt tension gauge (BT 3373-F or equivalent).
-
Inspect drive belt deflection or tension when engine is cold.
Adjust if belt deflection exceeds the limit or if belt tension is not within specifications.
-
Drive belt tension can also be checked at other points on the belts.
