MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
CHECK AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR BELT TENSION, ADJUST
Checking
1. Remove 4 bolts (2), then remove cover (1).
2. The standard deflection for the drive belt is approx. 10 mm (0.4
in) when pressed with a thumb [at approx.98.1 N (approx. 10
kgf)] at a point midway between the drive pulley and air
conditioner compressor pulley.
Adjustment
1. Loosen bolts and nuts (4) - (8) in number order, and move the
compressor.
If bolt (8) is tightened, the belt tension will increase; if bolt (8)
is loosened, the belt will become loose.
2. After adjusting the belt, tighten bolts and nuts (4) - (7) in
reverse number order from (7) to (4). Finally, tighten nut (8).
Check each pulley for damage, wear of the V-groove, and
wear of the V-belt. Check in particular that the V-belt does
not contact the bottom of the V-groove.
If the V-belt is elongated and there is no more allowance for
adjustment, or if the belt is cracked or cut, replace the belt.
When the V-belt has been replaced, adjust again after
running for 1 hour.
3. Install cover (1).
