ADJUSTING DRIVE BELT TENSION 

1. Check that the belts are not damaged and are properly fit for the pulley grooves.
2. Apply 100 N (22 lbs.) force to the back and midway portion of the belt between the pulleys as shown in the illustration, measure the amount of

deflection with a tension gauge.

CAUTION:  
1. When installing the V-ribbed belt, check that the V-ribs are properly aligned.
2. If noise or slippage is detected, check the belt for wear, damage, or breakage on the pulley contact surface, and check the pulley for scoring.

Also check the amount that the belt is deflected.
