BELT TENSIONING
PROCEDURE
The tensioner must be slack when installing a belt to
avoid damaging the belt when forcing it over the
pulley.
Checking Method
• Make sure the underside of the rubber ring is
aligned with the zero mark on the plunger.
• Lay the bar along the belt with the plunger
centered between the pulleys.
• Pressthe top of the tool until the sliding pin (C) on
the side just touches the top of the plunger slot.
• Remove the tool to read the amount of belt play
at the underside of the rubber ring.
