(22 - 44 pounds) to measure the movement of the rod.
Standard value: Within 1 mm (0.039 inch) 
A: Length when it is free (not pressed)

When measuring the belt deflection

1. Apply a pressure of approximately 100 N (22 pounds) at the center (arrow area) between the sprocket as shown then inspect whether the

deflection is within the standard value.
Standard value: 5 - 10 mm (0.20 - 0.39 inch)

2. If not within the standard value, adjust the belt tension.
