WARNING:

Be sure to perform this step when the engine is stopped.
• Check that the indicator (C) (notch on fixed side) of drive belt auto-tensioner is within the possible use range

(B).
NOTE:
• Check the drive belt auto-tensioner indication when the engine is cold.
• When new drive belt is installed, the indicator (notch on fixed side) should be within the range (A) in the fig-

ure.

• Visually check entire drive belt for wear, damage or cracks.
• If the indicator (notch on fixed side) is out of the possible use range or belt is damaged, replace drive belt.

CAUTION:

Drive belt auto-tensioner and idler pulley must be replaced with new ones when the drive belt is
replaced.

Hold the hexagonal part of drive belt auto-tensioner pulley with a
hexagonal socket (A) securely. Then move the wrench handle in
the direction of arrow (loosening direction of tensioner).

CAUTION:

Never place hand in a location where pinching may occur if
the holding tool accidentally comes off.

Insert a stopper pin (A) in diameter such as short-length screw-
driver into the hole of the retaining boss to fix drive belt auto-ten-
sioner pulley.
• Keep drive belt auto-tensioner pulley arm locked after drive

belt is removed.

NOTE:
Use approximately 3.0 mm (0.118 in) dia. hard metal pin as a
stopper pin.

Remove drive belt.

INSTALLATION

Install drive belt.

CAUTION:

• Check that drive belt is completely set to pulleys.
• Check for engine oil, working fluid and engine coolant are not adhered to drive belt and each

pulley groove.

Release drive belt auto-tensioner, and apply tension to drive belt.

Turn crankshaft pulley clockwise several times to equalize tension between each pulley.

Check that the indicator (notch on fixed side) of drive belt auto-tensioner is within the range when new
drive belt is installed. Refer to
