HINT
*
When inspecting the V-ribbed belt deflection, apply 98 N (10 kgf) tensile force to it.
*
After installing a new belt, run the engine for approximately 5 minutes and then readjust the tension to (new belt) specifications.
*
Check the V-ribbed belt deflection and tension at the specified point.
*
V-ribbed belt tension and deflection should be checked after 2 revolutions of the engine.
*
V-ribbed belt tension and deflection should be checked at TDC crank angle and cold condition.
*
When adjusting a belt, adjust its deflection and tension to the intermediate values of the specification.
*
When reinstalling a belt which has been used for over 5 minutes, adjust its deflection and tension to the used belt specification.
*
When using a belt tension gauge, confirm its accuracy by using a master gauge first.
