Check the conditions of belts on the engine. Examine the edge of
the belt for cracks or fraying.
Check the tension of the belt by pushing on it with your thumb for
Alternator belt and A.C. compressor belt and Power Steering belt
as shown in schematic diagram.
The belts should have deflection of 4 to 6 mm.
If the belt tension is not proper, get it attended at the nearest
authorised service outlet.
Correct tension of the belt is very critical from belt life and belt
noise point of view. It is recommended that belt tension should be
measured with clavis gauge to ensure recommended values as given
below
