Component | The location of the adjusting bolt and the method of tensioning the belt |
Drive belt | Adjusting bolt on idler pulley |
Attention:
- When replacing the belt with a new one, replace it with the value for «new belt», to compensate for insufficient fit to the pulley grooves.
- When the tension of the wear belt exceeds the limit, adjust it to the value «after adjustment».
- When putting on the belt, make sure that it sits correctly in the pulley groove.
- Do not allow oil or engine coolant to come into contact with the belt.
- Do not twist or bend the belt excessively.
1. Remove the protective pad from the front right fender. See chapter Body.
2. Loosen locknut (A) tensioning pulley from the tightening position with the required torque by 45°
1. Generator; 2. Water pump; 3. Crankshaft pulley; 4. Air conditioner compressor (on models with air conditioning); Idler pulley (on models without air conditioning); 5. Idler pulley; 6. Drive belt
Attention:
- If the locknut is loosened too much, the idler pulley will tilt and fine adjustment of the tension will not be possible. Do not loosen locknut excessively (more than 45°).
- Place an alignment mark on the locknut (A) and check the angle of rotation with a goniometer. Avoid judging by eye without the use of tools.
3. Adjust the belt tension by turning the adjusting bolt (IN).
See section «Checking drive belts».
Attention:
- When checking immediately after installing the belt, first adjust it to the standard value. Then, turning the crankshaft two revolutions or more, re-adjust the deflection to the standard value and eliminate the variation in the amount of belt deflection between the pulleys.
- When adjusting the tension, the lock nut must be in position 2. If the tension is adjusted when the lock nut is loosened more than required, the idler pulley will tilt and it will not be possible to fine-tune the tension.
4. Tighten locknut (A)
Tightening torque: 34.8 Nm (3.5 kg m)
