Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection

DRIVE BELTS (FOR THE GENERATOR AND POWER STEERING PUMP) (CHECK)

DRIVE BELT TENSION CHECK

CAUTION
Check the drive belt tension after turning the crankshaft clockwise one turn or more.






1. Make sure that the indicator mark is within the area marked with A in the illustration.
2. If the mark is out of the area, replace the drive belt.

NOTE:
The drive belt tension adjustment is not necessary, as the engine is equipped with an auto-tensioner
