WARNING
!
• Disconnect negative cable at battery
before checking and adjusting belt
tension.
• To help avoid danger of being burned, do
not remove radiator cap while engine and
radiator are still hot. Scalding fluid and
steam can be blown out under pressure if
cap is taken off too soon.
1) Inspect belt for cracks, cuts, deformation, wear and
cleanliness. If it is necessary to replace belt, refer to
"Water Pump / Generator Drive Belt Removal and
Installation".
2) Check belt for tension. Belt is in proper tension when
it deflects the following specification under thumb
pressure (about 10kg or 22 lb.).
If belt tension is out of specification, go to next steps.
Water pump / generator drive belt tension "a"
Existing belt: 4.5 – 5.5 mm (0.18 – 0.22 in.) as
