HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

Installing too wide a belt can result in serious belt wear and/or breakage

ADJUSTMENT

Belt tension can be checked by pressing on the belt at the center point of its longest straight run. The belt

should give about

in. If the belt is loose, it will slip. If the belt is too tight it will damage bearings in the

driven unit. Those units being driven, such as the alternator, power steering pump or compressor, have a bolt

which when loosened allows the unit to move for belt adjustment. Sometimes it is necessary to loosen the

pivot bolt also, to make the adjustment.
