NOTE: If the bolt is tightened first, the timing belt 
B tensioner assembly should be turned together, 
resulting in reduced timing belt B tensioner

BELT/AUTO TENSIONER INSTALLATION
1. To reuse the auto tensioner, bleed the air 

according to the procedure below, and then set 
the rod to the auto tensioner.

CAUTION

• If a horizontal press such as a vice is used, 

the air entrainment may occur. Thus, a verti-
cal press must be used.

• If the compression is too fast, the procedure 

may damage the rod. Make sure to compress 
slowly and thoroughly.

Rod

To prevent a damage to the auto tensioner, do 
not push down the rod exceeding the bottom 
end (a position where the rod protrusion is at 
0.5 mm from the auto tensioner).

(1) Set the auto tensioner to the vertical press, 

and then slowly compress the rod to the 
bottom end (a position where the rod 
protrusion is at 0.5 mm from the auto 
tensioner). Perform this operation 2 to 3 times.

(2) With the rod protruding (a position where the 

rod protrusion is at 5 mm from the auto 
tensioner), check that there is a rigidity when 
the rod is pushed with a load (100 to 200 N).

(3) If the rod rigidity is not obtained by repeating 

the operations of (1) and (2), replace the auto 
tensioner.

(5) Insert a wire or pin in the aligned set hole.

NOTE: When the auto tensioner is replaced 
with a new part, the auto tensioner is set with a 
pin.

2. Install the auto tensioner in position. Leave the 

wire or pin installed until the auto tensioner is 
completely installed.

3. Install the tensioner arm assembly.

5. In the order below, install the timing belt without 

slack.
NOTE: When installing the timing belt into the 
crankshaft sprocket, slide the crankshaft sprocket 
to near the tip of the key, and then install the tim-
ing belt. (When installing the timing belt, be care-
ful not to damage the belt by the cut-out of 
crankshaft sprocket.) After that, install the crank-
shaft sprocket to the correct position.

6. Check that the timing marks on sprockets are at 

the correct positions.

7. Remove the wire or pin of the auto tensioner.
