Engine drivebelt & belt tensioner.
Engine Drive Belt
The Engine Drive Belt (located on the front
of the engine) uses a spring tensioner which
requires no manual adjustment, but requires
inspection at regular service intervals.
If the tensioner loses tension, belt slip will
occur and the tensioner must be replaced.
Check the belt regularly, as it may become
slippery, frayed or cracked over time. The belt
should be replaced at minimum every 1000
hours.
Use a breaker bar with a 1/2" socket to release the engine
belt tensioner.
To Replace the Engine Drive Belt:
1 Remove the drive belt using a breaker bar
with a 1/2" socket to release the tensioner
before slipping the belt off.
Slowly & smoothly release bar to avoid
snap back injury.
2 Replace the drive belt using the breaker
bar with a 1/2" socket to release the
tensioner.
