2) Ditch deflection of pulley
Service limit: 1.0 mm (0.039 inch) or less
NOTE: Read the value for one surface of V ditch, and then the value for another off the dial.
3) Resistance to rotation of pulley
Service limit:
Maximum load; 9.22 N (0.94 kgs, 2.07 lbs.) or less
NOTE:
^
A rather higher value may be indicated when pulley starts turning.
^
Measure the load during rotation and make a judgment.
HYDRAULIC PRESSURE
NOTE:
^
Be sure to complete all items aforementioned in "INSPECTION", prior to measuring hydraulic pressure. Otherwise, pressure can not be
measured correctly.
^
Do not leave the valve of pressure gauge closed or hold the steering wheel at stop end for 5 seconds or more in any case, as the oil pump may
be damaged due to long keep of these conditions.
^
Put a cotton cloth waste at a place where fluid drops before the pressure gauge is installed. Wipe off split fluid thoroughly after the
measurement.
1) REGULAR PRESSURE MEASUREMENT
