Timing Belt Installation And Alignment - Chery automobile Service Manual

Note: After the belt is taken out, do not rotate
the gear to a large extent, otherwise the
piston head and the valve will be damaged
due to collision. To continue using the
removed belt, carefully check whether
there is abnormal abrasion, stratified
cracks (especially those around the root)
or fouling on the belt. Replace it
immediately even if the slightest suspicion
exists.
TIMING BELT INSTALLATION AND
ALIGNMENT
Check whether the crank shaft is in the TDC
position for the first cylinder. If necessary,
slightly rotate the crank shaft for alignment and
lock it around the flywheel ring gear. Make the
tooth of the timing belt and the gullet of the
flywheel in gear and drag the belt to the right in
an upward vertical direction to enable it to
engage with the cam gear and slot.
When installing the old belt, be sure to keep the
original direction of movement and engage it with
the original engaging teeth. After the belt is in
place, check it and be sure that the positions of
two gears haven't been changed.
Carefully coil the belt around the tension pulley
to enable it to engage with water pump gear.
Check it again to ensure that the positions of the
two teeth haven't been changed.
Loosen the two fixing bolts of the tension pulley
to try to push it to the right (seeing from the
direction of pulley) as possible, tighten its two
fixing bolts and loosen the locking device of the
crankshaft.
Rotate the crankshaft clockwise (seeing from the
direction of pulley) for two circles to the
compression TDC position on the first cylinder.
