8. Loosen the tensioner mounting bolts "1" and "2" in that order as shown in image. This will apply spring tension to the timing belt only.
NOTE: Check the belt to ensure that it is not out of position.
9. Tighten the tensioner mounting bolts "1" and "2" in that order. If bolt "1" is tightened first, the tensioner will move with the belt in the direction
that the belt is tightened.
10. Give the crankshaft one turn in operating direction (clockwise) and realign crankshaft sprocket timing mark with the top dead center position.
CAUTION:
-
Do not turn the crankshaft in a counterclockwise direction. The crankshaft should turn smoothly.
11. Loosen the tensioner attaching bolts "1" and "2" in that order.
12. Tighten the tensioner attaching bolts "2" and "1" in that order to the specified torque. 20 - 27 Nm (200 - 270 kg) (14 - 20 ft lb).
13. Recheck the belt tension. Verify that when the tensioner and the tension side of the timing belt are pushed in horizontally with a moderate force
[approx. 49 N (11 lb)], the timing belt cog end is approx. 1/2 of the tensioner mounting bolt head radius (across flats) away from the bolt head
center.
14. Install the timing belt cover. Tighten the timing belt cover bolts to the specified torque. 10 - 12 Nm (100 - 120 kg) (7.2 - 8.7 ft lb).
