Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection





1. INSPECT DRIVE BELT'S INSTALLATION CONDITION
Check that the drive belt fits properly in the ribbed grooves.





2. INSPECT DRIVE BELT TENSION
Check that the tension is within the A range on the auto tensioner scale.
If the tension is not within the A range on the scale, replace the belt with a new one.

HINT: When replacing the drive belt with a new one, the belt tension should be within the B range on the belt tensioner scale.
