Drive Belt: Adjustments
A/C Compressor
NOTE: Check drive belts for wear or damage, and replace with new ones as necessary. Check belts for tension, and adjust as necessary.
CAUTION:
-
Unlike the conventional V-type belt, auto tension belt must use a belt tension gauge, if possible, for its tension adjustment because feel based
adjustment may not lead to accurate belt tension.
-
Tension readjustment of auto tension belt should be made only once when V-type HM' tension has dropped to 40 lbs. or less and polyV type's
to 50 lbs. or less after the vehicle's total running mileage of 621 miles.
-
As for Air Conditioning (A/C) compressor driving belt, it is difficult to use a belt tension gauge.
-
Depress belt with 98 N (22 lbs.) and make sure that slackness is in the range of 8 - 12 mm (0.315 - 0.472 inches).
NOTE: Belt tension range to be targeted for cold setting. Using a Borrough drive belt tension gauge.
