9. FAN BELT
WARNING:
・ Before checking the fan belt, stop the
engine and remove the starter key without
fail.
・ Wait until the engine and accessories
cool down completely to prevent burns.
The fan belt,1, is accessible from the right rear of the
engine room by opening the engine hood. Check the
belt for tension and damage.
Push down the belt with a finger at the intermediate
point between the alternator,2, and crankshaft pulley,3,
with a force of 10 kgf (22 lb) and see its deflection, A. If it
deflects by about 10 mm (0.4 in.), the tension is proper.
When the belt deflection is improper, correct in the
following procedure:
a. Loosen the lock bolt,4, and adjust bolt,5, of the
alternator.
b. Pull the alternator outward to apply proper tension
to the belt. Tighten the lock bolt and adjust bolt
temporary while pulling the alternator.
c. Check for the belt deflection to see if the tension
is proper. If so, tighten the lock bolt and adjust
bolt securely.
IMPORTANT: When the belt is found to be defective, ask
your dealer for replacement.
