DRIVE BELTS PFP:02117
Checking Drive Belts ABS004TX
WARNING:
Be sure to perform when engine is stopped.
1. Inspect belts for cracks, fraying, wear and oil. If necessary,
replace.
2. Inspect drive belt deflection or tension at a point on belt midway
between pulleys.
● Inspection should be done only when engine is cold, or over
30 minutes after engine is stopped.
● Measure belt tension with belt tension gauge (Commercial
Service Tool: BT3373-F or equivalent) at points marked
shown in the figure.
● When measuring deflection, apply 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb) at the
marked point.
● Adjust if belt deflection exceeds the limit or if belt tension is not within specifications.
CAUTION:
● When checking belt deflection or tension 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.
● Tighten idler pulley lock nut by hand and measure deflection or tension without looseness.
Belt Deflection and Tension
*: If belt tension gauge cannot be installed at check points shown, check drive belt tension at different location on belt.
Tension Adjustment ABS004TY
CAUTION:
● When belt is replaced with a new one, adjust it to value for “New belt” to accommodate for insuffi-
cient adaptability with pulley grooves.
● When deflection or tension of belt being used exceeds “Limit”, adjust it to value for “After adjust-
ment of used belt”.
● When checking belt deflection or tension immediately after installation, first adjust it to the speci-
fied value. Then, after turning crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust to the specified value to
avoid variation in deflection between pulleys.
● When installing belt, make sure that it is correctly engaged with pulley grooves.
● Keep engine oil, working fluid and engine coolant away from belt and pulley grooves.
● Do not twist or bend belt excessively.
