INSTALLATION
(1) Check condition of all pulleys.
CAUTION: When installing the serpentine accessory
drive belt, the belt MUST be routed correctly. If not,
the engine may overheat due to the water pump
rotating in the wrong direction. Refer to (Fig. 10) or
(Fig. 11) for correct belt routing.
(2) Install new belt. Install belt tension gauge
C-4162 and tighten adjustment bolt (Fig. 7) until belt
tension is within specification range (Refer to 7 -

(3) Tighten idler pulley bolt and re-check belt ten-
sion. Adjust if necessary.
ADJUSTMENT—ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT
Correct drive belt tension is required to ensure
optimum performance of the belt driven engine acces-
sories. There are different types of adjustment
gauges for checking either a serpentine or a V-type
belt. Refer to the instructions supplied with the
gauge. Use the correct gauge when checking belt ten-
sion. Place gauge in the middle of the section of belt
being tested (between two pulleys) to check tension.
Do not allow the gauge (or gauge adapter) to contact
anything but the belt.
With the engine off (not running), visually inspect
accessory drive belt for glazing, cracks or chunks
missing. Also inspect pulleys for misalignment or
defects.
