Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection
V-Ribbed Drive Belt Inspection
INSPECT V-RIBBED BELT
a. Belt deflection:
Pressing force: 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbs.)
b. Tension
NOTICE:
^
Check the drive belt deflection at the specified point.
^
When installing a new belt, set its tension value as specified.
^
When inspecting a belt which is used for over 5 minutes, apply the specification of "Used belt".
^
When reinstalling a belt which is used for over 5 minutes, adjust its belt deflection and tension to the medium value in each specification
of "Used belt".
^
V-ribbed belt tension and deflection value should be checked after 2 revolutions of engine cranking.
^
When using a belt tension gauge, confirm the accuracy first by using a master gauge.
