CAUTION:
Do not completely rotate the drive belt tensioner when removing the drive belt. Instead, rotate the drive belt tensioner slowly and only far enough to remove the belt from the tensioner pulley. If the tensioner dampener is compressed too far, or too quickly, the seal on the tensioner can be damaged.
CAUTION:
When removing the drive belt, special care must be taken to avoid damaging the tensioner. After removing the drive belt, SLOWLY release the tensioner. Releasing the tensioner too quickly or freely will result in damage to the tensioner and it will need to be replaced. Procedure Rotate the drive belt tensioner clockwise to release the drive belt tension.
NOTE:
If belt is being replaced because the belt broke, the tensioner must also be replaced. It his highly likely that the tensioner over extended and is damaged. |
