V-belt Tension, Check and Adjust
V-belt tension should be checked with Tester (1)
KM - 128 - A. Checking area chosen should if possible be
the section between the two belt pulleys.
|
|
The tester lever must be pressed down until the pin on the
microswitch makes contact with the V-belt. When contact is made a buzzing tone
can be heard.
Note reading on scale and multiply by 100 (10).
The value thus arrived at is the V-belt tension in N (kp).
V-belt tension
New N (kp) 450 (45)
Run-in N (kp) 250 to
300 (25 to 30)
|
If the V-belt tension does not correspond to the prescribed
value, the alternator should be loosened at the bracket and retaining strap.
|
|
|
Re-adjust the V-belt tension and tighten alternator at
bracket and retaining strap.
