Linkage

The
accelerator

should
be
lubricated
pe-
riodically
.
Use
a
general
purpose
oil
on

Engine
Drive
Belts

Drive
belts
and
pulleys
transfer
power
from
theengine
crank-

shaft
to
various
accessories
.
See
Fig
.
13
.
Depending
on
model

and
model
year,
engine
driven
accessories
are
driven
by
V-

belts,
poly-ribbed
(serpentine)
belts,
or
a
combination
of
the

two
.
For
example,
early
4-cylinder
engines,
usetwo
V-belts
and
one
poly-ribbed
belt
.

Inspect
drivebelts
with
the
engine
off
.
lf
the
belt
shows
signs

of
wear,
cracking,
glazing,
or
missing
sections,
it
should
be
re-

placed
immediately

.

V-belts
should
be
inspected
during
regular
maintenance
in-

tervais
.
Incorrect
tension
can
decrease
the
life
of
the
belt
and

the
component
it
drives
.
The
V-belt
tension
is
adjusted
through

a
toothed-rack
mechanism
.

Inspect
belts
with
the
engine
off
.
Twist

inspect
its

sidewalls
and

.
Beltstructural
damage,
glazed
or
shiny

sidewaljs
caused
by
a
loose
belt,
orseparation
are
al¡
reasons

to
replace
a
belt
.

Replacement
of
the
V-belts
every
four
years
is
recommend-

ed
.
Loosen
the
mounting
bolts
and
adjust
the
belt-driven
unit

until
the
belt
tension
is
as
loose
aspossible
.
Remove
the
belt
by

slipping
it
over
the
pulleys
.
In
some
cases
it
may
be
necessary

to
removeone
V-belt
to
get
to
another
.
Use
a
torque
wrench
and

a
crowfoot
wrench
to
turn

.
Hold
the

NOTE-

When
belts
are
replaced
with

ones,
store
the
old
set
in
the
luggage
compartment
for
emergency
use
.

When
installing
a
new
belt,
gently
pry
it
over
the
pulleys
.
Too

much
force
may
damage
the
belt
or
the
accessory
.
Tension
the

belt(s),
runthe
engine
for
a
few
minutes
(at
least
1500
rpm),

then
recheck
the
belt
tension
.

CAUTION-

Do
not
over
tighten
the
V-belts
.
Overtightening
will
cause
shaft
bearings
to
fail
prematurely
.

Poly-ribbed
belt,
replacing

(4-cylinder
engines
buiit
from

and
all
6-cylinder
engines)

An
automatic
belt
tensioner
is
used
to
keep
the
belts
ten-

sioned
properly
.
Unless
the
tensioner
mechanism
malfunc-

tions,
the
poly-ribbed
belts
do
not
require
tension
adjustment
.

To
reduce
the
chance
ofbelt
failure
while
driving,
replace-

ment
of
the
belts
every
four
years
is
recommended
.
Mark

rotationdirectíon
if
removing
and
reusing
an
old
belt
.

To
remove
the
belt,
it
is
necessary
toretract
the
self-tension-

er
.
Using
a
breaker
bar
or
other
long
socket
assembly,
rotate

the
tensioner
to
loosenthe
belt
.
See
Fig
.

.
On
4-cyl-

inder
engines,
it
will
benecessary
to
remove
the
A/C
compres-

sor
belt
to
remove
the
main
drive
belt
.

WARNING
-

Observe
care
when
replacing
the
belt
.
Personal
in-
jury
could
result
if
the
tensioner
springs
back
into
position
uncontrollably
.

With
the
belt
removed
from
the
pulleys,
inspect
the
pulleys

for
wear
or
damage
that
may
cause
early
failureof
the
new
belt
.

This
is
also
a
good
opportunity
to
inspect
the
belt-driven
acces-

sories,
checking
for
bearing
wear
and
excess
play
.
