1. Apply moderate pressure 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbs) midway between the specified pulleys.
- If the deflection is not within the specification, adjust it.

Drive Belt Tension Inspection

Note: Belt tension can be inspected in place of belt deflection. Inspect the drive belt tension when the engine is cold, or at least 30 min after the engine has been stooped.





1. Using the SST, inspect the belt tension between any two pulleys.
- If the tension is not within the specification, adjust it.
