2. Push down on drive belt until it is lightly tensioned.
3. Measure belt deflection as shown in photo.
If belt deflection is out of specification, adjust by removing or
adding shims between the driven clutch sheaves.
S Remove shims to decrease belt deflection
S Add shims to increase belt deflection
