Air Conditioner Compressor Belt
Belt tension is measured with a tension gauge. A properly tightened belt
will give a reading of 100pounds (50 kg) on a new belt and 90 pounds (41kg) on
a belt that has been run-in.

1. Loosen mounting bolts shown in illustration. Make sure pulley grooves are
aligned.
2. Install an eyebolt in tapped hole as shown. Insert a prybar through eye and
adjust by prying in direction of arrow until specified tension is achieved.
3. Tighten mounting bolts to 25 - 35 foot-pounds (34 - 47 N m), then remove
the eyebolt. Recheck pulley grooves for alignment. If grooves are misal-
igned, rapid belt wear will result.
