2. Apply IOON (22 Ibs.) force to the belt back midway bet-
ween the pulleys as shown in the figure, measure the
deflection or measure tension with a tension gauge accor-
ding to its instruction.

Caution
e Measure the amount of belt deflection between the
designated pulleys.
l An over-tensioned belt could cause not only
premature belt wear but also noise and damage to
water pump bearing and alternator bearing.
A loose belt also could cause failure of the alternator
to generate enough power and consequently a run-
down battery.
DRIVE BELT DEFLECTION ADJUSTMENT <2.6L ENGINE>
lumFF.40.
Vehicles without an air conditioner
1. Loosen the alternator brace bolt and the alternator support nut.
2. Place a bar or similar object in contact with the stator part
of the alternator, and manually provide the suitable tension
to adjust the amount of belt deflection.
3. Tighten the alternator brace bolt and the alternator support
nut to the specified torque-
Vehicles with an air conditioner
1. Loosen the alternator support nut and the bolt holding the
alternator.
2. Adjust the amount of deflection of the belt by using the
tension-adjustment bolt.
3. Tighten the alternator support nut and the bolt holding the
alternator.
<3.OL ENGINE>
1. To increase belt tension, loosen the nut l/8 turn, turn the
left-hand threaded bolt clockwise viewed from the arrow
direction, and displace thetension pulley slightly.
~~
Caution
Put the adjusting bolt into the recess at the far depth of
the elongated hole on the tension bracket.
2. Tighten the nut.
3. Turn the engine one time or more and check the belt ten-
sion. Readjust, if necessary.

NOTE
Even for a new belt, the adjustment value for a used belt
should be used to make the adjustment if the belt has been
used for as long as five minutes or more.
