Checking
-
Inspection should be done only when engine is cold or over 30 minutes after the engine is stopped.
-
Visually check belts for wear, damage, and cracks on inside and edges.
-
Turn crankshaft pulley two times clockwise, and make sure tension on all pulleys is equal before doing the test.
CAUTION:
-
When the tension and frequency are measured, the acoustic tension gauge should be used.
-
When checking immediately after installation, first adjust it to the specified value. Then, after turning crankshaft two turns or more,
re-adjust to the specified value to avoid variation in deflection between pulleys.
Belt Deflection / Belt Tension and Frequency : See: Specifications.
