Drive Belt: Description and Operation
Accessory Drive Belt Service
Accessory Drive Belt Tensioner
A single accessory drive belt is used to drive all engine mounted accessories. All driven accessories are rigidly mounted to the engine. Drive belt tension
is maintained by a spring loaded belt tensioner.
A belt squeak when the engine is started or stopped is normal and has no effect on belt durability.
The drive belt tensioner can control belt tension over a broad range of belt lengths; however, there are limits to the tensioner's ability to compensate.
Using the tensioner outside of its operating range can result m poor tension control and/or damage to the tensioner.
