Checking Drive BeltsEBS00LPY
●Before inspecting the engine, make sure the engine has cooled down; wait approximately 30 minutes
after the engine has been stopped.
●Visually inspect all belts for wear, damage, or cracks on contacting surfaces and edge areas.
●When measuring deflection, apply 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb) at the ▼ marked point.
CAUTION:
When measuring belt tension immediately after belt is installed, first set the tension to the standard.
Then, rotate crankshaft for more than two turns in order to eliminate variance in belt deflection
between the pulleys. Re-measure and adjust the tension to the standard.

CAUTION:
●When belt is replaced with a new one, tighten it a little
stronger than current one to accommodate for insufficient
adaptability with pulley grooves.
●When tension of belt being used exceeds “Retightening
limit”, adjust it to value for “Used belt”.
●When installing belt, make sure that it is correctly engaged with pulley groove.
●Keep oil and water away from belt.
●Do not twist or bend belt excessively.
●When adjusting belt, remove snap retainer from adjusting bolt thread (to prevent the retainer from
becoming pinched or missing).
●After adjustment, be sure to install snap retainer to adjusting bolt thread.
NOTE:
Snap retainer can prevent adjusting bolt from dropping due to vibration during driving.

Removal and InstallationEBS00LQ0
REMOVAL
●Loosen each belt while referring to “Tension Adjustment”, and remove them one by one starting from the
one in front.
INSTALLATION
1. Install belts to pulley in reverse order of removal.
2. Adjust belt tension.
CAUTION:
●When checking belt tension immediately after installation, first, adjust to specified value. Then,
after turning crankshaft more than two turns, re-adjust to specified value to avoid variation in
deflection between pulleys.
●Tighten idler pulley lock nut by hand and measure tension without looseness.
3. Tighten each adjusting bolt and nut to the specified torque.
4. Make sure that tension of each belt is within the standard.
