1) Preparation for installation of automatic belt
tension adjuster assembly;
CAUTION:
IAlways use a vertical type pressing tool to
move the adjuster rod down.
IDo not use a lateral type vise.
IPush adjuster rod vertically.
IBe sure to slowly move the adjuster rod
down applying a pressure of 294 N (30 kg, 66
lb).
IPress-in the push adjuster rod gradually tak-
ing more than three minutes.
IDo not allow press pressure to exceed 9,807
N (1,000 kg, 2,205 lb).
IPress the adjuster rod as far as the end sur-
face of the cylinder. Do not press the adjuster
rod into the cylinder. Doing so may damage the
cylinder.
IDo not release press pressure until stopper
pin is completely inserted.(1) Attach the automatic belt tension adjuster
assembly to the vertical pressing tool.
(2) Slowly move the adjuster rod down with a
pressure of 294 N (30 kg, 66 lb) until the
adjuster rod is aligned with the stopper pin hole
in the cylinder.
