Inspect Drive Belt

INSPECT DRIVE BELT




1. Visually check the belt for excessive wear, frayed cords etc. If any defect has been found, replace the drive belt.

NOTE: Cracks on the rib side of a belt are considered acceptable. If the belt has chunks missing from the ribs, it should be replaced.

Drive Belt Tension:










2. Using a belt tension gauge, measure the drive belt tension.

NOTE:
- "New belt" refers to a belt which has been used less than 5 minutes on a running engine.
- Used belt" refers to a belt which has been used on a running engine for 5 minutes or more.
- After installing a belt, check that it fits properly in the ribbed grooves.
- Check with your hand to confirm that the belt has not slipped out of the groove on the bottom of the pulley.
- After installing a new belt, run the engine for about 5 minutes and recheck the belt tension.
