8-2. Inspection and replacement of the drive
belt
1) Pre-operation check:
Check if the belt is tensioned properly. When its
tension is correct, the clearances between coils
of the tension spring should be 1 to 1.2 mm
(0.04 - 0.05 inch).
2) Inspection of the belt tension:
a. Check the tension of each belt. Measure the
length or inter-coil clearance of the tension
spring.
