Idler pulley lock nut (temporary tightening): 4.4 N.m (0.45 kg-m, 39 in-lb)

NOTE:
Do not move the lock nut from the tightened position. Proceed to step "2".
2. Install the drive belt to each pulley.

CAUTION:
- Make sure that there is no oil, grease, or coolant, etc. in pulley grooves.
- Make sure that the belt is securely inside the groove on each pulley.
3. Adjust drive belt tension by turning the adjusting bolt. Refer to Adjustments.

CAUTION:
- Perform the belt tension adjustment with the lock nut temporarily tightened at the step "1" so as not to tilt the idler pulley.
- When checking 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.
4. Tighten the idler pulley lock nut.
