Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection
INSPECT V-RIBBED BELT
a. Belt deflection:
Pressing force: 98 N (10 kgf, 221 lbs.)
b. Tension:
Belt tension gauge:
DENSO BTG-20 (95506-00020)
Borroughts No. BT-33-73F
NOTICE:
-
Check the drive belt deflection at the specified point.
-
When installing a new belt, set its tension value as specified.
-
When checking a belt used for over 5 minutes, confirm the deflection value is within the specified one.
-
When reinstalling a belt used for over 5 minutes, perform the check based on the used deflection value.
-
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.
