a rapid, abnormal belt wear. Belts that are
too tight, however, can damage both bear-
ings and belts.
Visually check the belt for wear. Replace if necessary. Check
fan belt tension by depressing the midpoint between fan
pulley (3) and alternator pulley (4) with the thumb. Deflec-
tion must be A with a depressing force of approximately 98
N (10 kgf, 22 lbf).
