CLEANING
Clean all foreign debris from belt pulley grooves.
The belt pulleys must be free of oil, grease, and cool-
ants before installing the drive belt.
INSPECTION
Belt replacement under any or all of the following
conditions is required:
²Excessive wear
²Frayed cords
²Severe glazing
Poly-V Belt system may develop minor cracks
across the ribbed side (due to reverse bending). These
minor cracks are considered normal and acceptable.
Parallel cracks are not (Fig. 4).
NOTE: Do not use any type of belt dressing or
restorer on Poly-V Belts.

ADJUSTMENTS
Satisfactory performance of the belt driven accesso-
ries depends on proper belt tension. Belt tensioning
should be performed with the aid of Special Tool
7198. Because of space limitations in the engine com-
partment, the use of this gauge may be restricted.
Raise the vehicle on a hoist and the remove the
splash shield to gain access to the drive belts, if nec-
essary. Adjust belt tension for either aNeworUsed
belt. For specifications, (Refer to 7 - COOLING/AC-
CESSORY DRIVE - SPECIFICATIONS).
