BELT ADJUSTMENT METHOD TABLE
| CAUTION | When belt is replaced with a new one, adjust it to value for "New belt" to accommodate for insufficient adaptability with pulley grooves. When deflection or tension of belt being used exceeds "Used belt limit" adjust it to value for "After adjustment" of "Used belt". When checking belt deflection or tension immediately after installation, first adjust it to the specification value. Then, after turning the crankshaft two turns or more, readjust to the specified value to avoid variation in deflection between pulleys. When installing belt, make sure that it is correctly engaged with pulley groove. Keep oil and water away from belt. Do not twist or bend belt excessively. |
