Checking and Adjusting Drive Belt
1. Checking tension
1) Press the middle of the water pump pulley and
alternator pulley with 10kgf.
2) Inspect the belt deflection by pressing it.
3) If the belt deflection is out of the standard,
adjust it as follows.
Standard
Item
New belt Used belt
Drive belt deflection (L) 4.0~4.4mm 5.1~5.7mm
Adjusting
1. Loosen the alternator support bolt “A” nut and
adjusting lock bolt “B”.
2. Adjust the belt tension by moving the alternator
brace adjusting bolt to “T” direction.
Alternator adjusting lock bolt “B” 1.2~1.5kg·m
Alternator support bolt “A” 2~2.5kg·m
3. Tighten the bolt “A” and then tighten “B” to the
specified torque.
CAUTION
If the belt tension is too excessive, noise as well
as early wear of belt occurs and the water pump
bearing and alternator bearing are damaged.
If the belt is too loose, due to early wear of belt
and insufficient power of alternator, battery and
water pump become inefficient and finally
engine is overheated or damaged.

defective.
1. Check the belt surface for damage, wear and
crack.
