Diagram 4.4 - Measuring Belt tension
15. If the locking tabs on the right and left tension bolts have not been straightened, use pliers to
bend the locking tabs out of the way so that the bolts can be turned.
IF... THEN...
The belt tensioning gauge reads Turn both tension bolts
less than 14 pounds clockwise, in equal quarter-turn
increments, until the belt tensioning
gauge reads 14 - 16 pounds @1/2” deflection.
The belt tensioning gauge reads Turn both tension bolts
more than 16 pounds counterclockwise, in equal
quarter-turn increments, until the belt
tensioning gauge reads 14 - 16 pounds @ 1/2”
deflection.
16. Verify that the belt alignment is still correct by performing the procedure in step 3.
17. When both the step pulley tension and alignment are correct, use pliers to bend the tension
bolt locking tabs into the “locking” position.
18. The input pulley tension must now be checked and corrected, if necessary. There is not
sufficient room to use the belt tension gauge to set the input pulley belt tension. The Input
