DRIVE BELT REMOVAL/INSPECTION, CONT.
7. Measure belt length with a tape measure around the
outer circumference of the belt.
measure longer than nominal length may require
driven shimming or engine adjustment for a longer
center distance to obtain proper belt deflection.
Belts which measure shorter than nominal length
may require driven shimming or a shorter center
distance. Remember, proper belt deflection is the
desired goal - - not a specific center distance.
8. Replace belt if worn past the service limit. Belts with
thin spots, burn marks, etc., should be replaced to
eliminate noise, vibration, or erratic PVT operation.
See Troubleshooting Chart at the end of this chapter
for possible causes. NOTE: If a new belt is installed,
check belt deflection.
DRIVE BELT INSTALLATION
1. Loop belt over drive and over top of driven sheave.
2. While pushing down on top of belt, turn the back or
moveable driven sheave clockwise.
3. The belt then should be able to be pushed down into
and between the sheaves.
NOTE: Be sure to postion belt so part number is easily
read.
