DRIVE BELT
INSPECTION
INSPECT DRIVE BELT
(a) Visually check the drive belt for excessive wear, frayed
cords, etc.
If any defect has been found, replace the drive belt.
HINT:
Cracks on the rib side of a drive belt are considered acceptable.
If the missing chunks from the ribs are found on the drive belt,
it should be replaced.
(b) Using a belt tension gauge, measure the belt tension.
Belt tension gauge:
DENSO BTG-20 (95506-00020)
Borroughs No. BT-33-73F
Drive belt tension:
New belt: 120 - 185 lbf
Used belt: 95 - 135 lbf
If the belt tension is not as specified, adjust it.
HINT:
ºNew beltº refers to a belt which has been used less than
5 minutes on a running engine.
ºUsed beltº refers to a belt which has been used on a run-
ning 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 min-
utes and recheck the belt tension.
