Principle
The sensor, through the presser button (1), the
presser (2) and the outer pads (3), applies a
constant force to the belt.
The reaction from the belt is measured using a
test piece (4) fitted with strain gauges.
Any movement on the gauges creates a variation
in their electrical resistance. This variation, once it
has been converted by the device, is displayed on
the display in SEEM units (US).Calibrating the device
The device is set in the factory; however it must be
recalibrated every six months.
Procedure
Resetting the zero:
- switch on the device (button E) with the presser
button (1) face down,
- if 0 is displayed, do not touch anything,
- if nothing is displayed, check the condition of
the 9 volt battery in the device ,
- if a value other than 0 is displayed, adjust screw
(F) until 0 is obtained.

Checking the calibration
Switch on the device (button E).
Position the calibration spring plate (Z) on the sensor as shown on the diagram (control value engraved to-
wards the top, (A) minimum value, (B) maximum value).
Tighten the presser button (1) until it goes "CLICK - CLICK - CLICK".
Check that a value X between the values (A and B) (A ≤ X ≤ B) is displayed.
NOTE: it may be necessary to perform several preliminary tests in order to obtain the correct value.
If the correct value if still not obtained after several attempts, contact SEEM.
NOTE : each device has its own calibration spring plate and they are not interchangeable.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
_ Never refit a belt which has been removed, re-
place it.
- Never retighten a belt for which the tension
reading is between the fitting value and the
minimum operating value.
- When checking, if the tension is below the mi-
nimum operating value, change the belt.

Tensioning process
Engine cold (ambient temperature).
Fit the new belt.
Position the sensor of Mot. 1273.
Turn the wheel of the sensor until it disengages (three "CLICKS").
Tension the belt until the recommended fitting value is displayed on Mot. 1273 .
Lock the tensioner, check it, adjust the value.
Turn the crankshaft over three times.
Check that the tension value is within the fitting tension tolerance, otherwise readjust it.
NOTE :
Never refit a belt which has been removed.
Replace the belt if the tension is below the minimum operating tension.
Small cuts or cracks do not mean that the belt has to be replaced.

Engine cold (ambient temperature).
Fit the new belt.
Position the sensor of Mot. 1273.
Turn the wheel of the sensor until it disengages
(three "CLICKS").
Tension the belt until the recommended fitting
value is displayed on Mot. 1273.
Lock the tensioner, check it and adjust the value.
Turn the crankshaft over at least three times .
Check that the tension value is within the fitting
tension tolerance (± 10%), otherwise readjust it,
repeating the operations described above.
NOTE :
- For the F8Q engine, remove the pin Mot 1054
before fitting the sensor of tool Mot 1273 and
press hard on the section of belt between the
intermediate shaft sprocket (or idle sprocket)
and the tension wheel, then make the measu-
rement.
- Never refit a belt which has been removed.
- Replace the belt if the tension is below the mi-
nimum operating tension.

METHOD FOR TIGHTENING THE CYLINDER HEAD
REMINDER:

In order to ensure that the bolts are correctly tightened, use a syringe to remove any oil which may be in the
cylinder head mounting holes.
All the cylinder head bolts must be systematically renewed after removal.
There is no cylinder head retightening operation.
Using engine oil, lubricate the threads and under the heads of the bolts.
