  1. Install the belt over all the pulleys except the tensioner arm. See Figure and Figure .
  2. Install a 3/8" drive wrench on the tensioner arm and rotate the arm counterclockwise. Slowly release the tension on the tensioner arm. Inspect for the drive belt being properly install on the pulleys. Avoid mispositioning the drive belt by one or more grooves.
  3. Confirm for the proper drive belt size and the correct drive belt routing by observing the location of the fix pointer and index marks on the drive belt tensioner. With a new drive belt installed the fix pointer should align within the indentation on the drive belt tensioner. With a used drive belt installed the fix pointer should not align past the index marks.
  4. Install the coolant recovery bottle. Install the air cleaner assembly.
