ME(STI)-46 V-belt MECHANICAL C: INSPECTION 1. FRONT SIDE BELT CAUTION: Check and adjust the front side belt tension so that it is within the specified range. Using the belt with a tension out of the specified range may result in a fault such as the following: • If the front side belt tension is higher, unex- pected force is generated at the power steering oil pump, generator and crankshaft bearing, causing abnormal noise due to abnormal wear of the bearing. • If the front side belt tension is lower, the front side belt and crank pulley slip, causing abnor- mally high temperature on the crank pulley due to frictional heat. If this condition repeatedly occurs, the front side belt may abnormally wear, causing abnormal noise, front side belt damage or crank pulley damage. 1) Replace the front side belt, if crack, fraying or wear is found. 2) Check the front side belt tension and adjust it if necessary by changing the generator installing po- sition. gauge): When installing new parts 640 — 780 N (65 — 80 kgf, 144 — 175 lbf) At inspection 490 — 640 N (50 — 65 kgf, 110 — 144 lbf) Front side belt tension (without belt tension gauge): When installing new parts 7 — 9 mm (0.276 — 0.354 in) At inspection 9 — 11 mm (0.354 — 0.433 in) 2. REAR SIDE BELT Replace the rear side belt, if crack, fraying or wear is found, or noise is emitted. For the rear side belt, a stretch type belt is used, and therefore, it is not necessary to check deflec- tion nor tension.
