Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection

INSPECT FAN AND GENERATOR V BELT

HINT:  The belt tensioner coordinates a belt tension automatically by its mechanism, you do not need to adjust it by yourself.

a. Check that the indicator mark on the automatic tensioner is within the A range as shown in the illustration.
b. When the mark is out of the standard range, exchange the V belt with new one.

INSPECT DRIVE BELT

a. Visually check the belt for excessive wear, frayed cords etc.

HINT:
-

If any defect has been found, replace the drive belt.

-

Cracks on the rib side of a belt are considered acceptable. If the belt has chunks missing from the ribs, it should be replaced.

b. Check that it fits properly in the ribbed grooves.

HINT:  Check with your hand to confirm that the belt has not slipped out of the groove on the bottom of the pulley.
