DRIVE BELTS
Checking Drive BeltsINFOID:0000000003531521
WARNING:
Be sure to perform when the engine is stopped.
1. Remove air duct and resonator assembly when inspecting drive belt.
2. Make sure that indicator (single line notch) of eac
h auto tensioner is within the allowable working range
(between three line notches) as shown.
NOTE:
• Check the drive belt auto tensioner indication when the engine is cold.
• The indicator notch is located on the moving side of the drive belt auto tensioner.
3. Visually check entire belt for wear, damage or cracks.
4. If the indicator is out of allowable work ing range or belt is damaged, replace the belt.
DRIVE BELT TENSION
There is no manual drive belt tension adjustment. The driv e belt tension is automatically adjusted by the drive
belt auto tensioner.

• Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.
• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids including
engine oil and engine coolant.
• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down the engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to
specified level if necessary.
