Belt Adjustment: Notes

Tensioners are used to automatically adjust belt tension to specification. Tension is within specification, if tensioner pointer is within indicator markings. Check belt for fraying. If fraying exists, ensure belt and tensioner are properly aligned. See Figure. Tensioners will contain a belt-wear indicator. See Figure-Figure . If tensioner reaches travel limit, as indicated by marks on tensioner, replace belt. Ensure serpentine belts are properly installed. See Figure-Figure .
