Hybrid Model: V-Belt

  1. Set the V-belt (A) as shown in the figure.
    CAUTION:
    • Be sure to use a new V-belt.
    • Be careful not to let oil, grease or coolant contact the V-belt.
    • Be careful not to rub the V-belt end surface with bare hands; exposed core may cause injury.
    • Wipe off any dust, oil and water on the groove of each pulley with cloth.
  2. Insert the wrench into the crank pulley bolt and hold it with your fingers to ensure the V-belt (A) rib will not be misaligned from the rib groove of the water pump pulley.
  3. With the state described in step 2, slowly turn the crank pulley clockwise until the V-belt (A) rib is seated properly on the rib groove of the water pump pulley. Then install the V-belt (A).
    CAUTION:
    • Before rotating, make sure that the V-belt rib is properly seated on the rib groove of the crank pulley and idler pulley.
