DRIVE BELT REMOVAL/INSPECTION, CONT.
7. Measure belt length withatapemeasure aroundthe
outer circumference of the belt. Belts which
measure longer than nominal length may require
driven shimming or engine adjustment for a longer
center distance to obtain proper belt deflection.
Belts which measure shorter than nominal length
may require driven shimming or a shorter center
distance. Remember, proper belt deflection is the
desired goal -- not a specific center distance.
8. Replace belt if wornpast theservice limit. Belts with
thin spots, burn marks, etc., should be replaced to
eliminate noise, vibration, or erratic PVT operation.
SeeTroubleshootingChart at theendof this chapter
forpossiblecauses. NOTE: Ifanewbeltisinstalled,
check belt deflection.
DRIVE BELT INSTALLATION
1. Loop belt over drive and over top of driven sheave.
2. While pushing down on top of belt, turn the back or
moveable driven sheave clockwise.
3. The belt then should be ableto be pushed downinto
and between the sheaves.
NOTE: Be sure to postion belt so part number is easily
read.
