Drive Belt: Description and Operation
The accessory drive system utilizes two different style of drive belts. The conventional V-belt and the Poly-V belt are used to drive the generator, air
conditioning compressor, power steering pump and water pump. Satisfactory performance of these belts depends on belt condition and proper belt
tension. Belt tensioning should be performed with the aid of a Burroughs gauge Special Tool C-4162. Because of space limitations in the engine
compartment, the use of the gauge may be restricted. Raise the vehicle on a hoist and then remove the splash shield to gain access to the drive belts.
