Drive Belt: Adjustments
Generator Drive Belt Tension Check
Check the belt tension with the tension gauge, or check the belt deflection by pressing the middle point of the belt by a force of 98 N (22 lbs.).
Standard value:
Tension: 400 - 490 N (90 - 110 lbs.)
Deflection
Generator Drive Belt Tension Adjustment
1 Remove the under cover side panel (R.H.).
2. Loosen the generator pivot nut.
3. Loosen the lock nut.
4. Turn the adjusting screw to adjust the belt tension or deflection to the standard value.
NOTE: When installing a new belt, apply 310 N (70 lbs.) of tension for 5 minutes or more, and then apply the final tension.
Standard value
5. Tighten the generator pivot nut.
Tightening torque: 54 Nm (40 ft. lbs.)
6. Tighten the lock nut.
Tightening torque: 61 Nm (45 ft. lbs.)
7. Install the under cover side panel (R.H.).
