WATER PUMP BELT TENSION
WARNING:
Disconnect negative cable at battery before checking and
adjusting belt tension.
1) Inspect belt for cracks, cuts, deformation, wear and cleanliness.
If it is necessary to replace belt, refer to WATER PUMP BELT in

or 22 lbs (1).).
Belt tension "a": 8 – 10 mm (0.32 – 0.39 in.) as deflection
NOTE:
When replacing belt with a new one, adjust belt tension to
6 – 7 mm (0.24 – 0.27 in.).
