BELT ADJUSTMENT
Tensioners may be used to automatically adjust belt tension to specification. Check belt for fraying. If fraying exists, ensure belt and tensioner are properly aligned. See Fig. 1 . Tensioners may contain a belt-wear indicator. See Fig. 2 . If tensioner reaches travel limit, as indicated by marks on tensioner, replace belt. On vehicles without tensioners, ensure belt tension is within specification. See BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT SPECIFICATIONS table.
