Adjustment

Deflection Method

1. Apply a force of 98 N (10 kgf, 22 IV), and measure the deflection between the A/C compressor and the crankshaft pulley.

Compressor Belt

Deflection:

Used Belt: 6.5 - 10.5 mm (0.26 - 0.41 in) New Belt 5.0 - 7.0 mm (0.20 - 0.28 in)

NOTE:

2. Loosen the adjust pulley bracket pivot bolt and the adjusting bolt lock nut of the A/C compressor belt.

3. Turn the adjusting bolt to get proper belt tension, then retighten the adjust pulley bracket pivot bolt and the adjusting bolt lock nut.

4. Recheck the deflection of the A/C compressor belt.

Tension Gauge Method

1. Attach the belt tension gauge to the A/C compressor belt as shown below, and measure the tension of the belt.

Compressor Belt

Tension:

Used Belt: 340 - 490 N (35 - 50 kgf, 77 -110 lbf) New Belt: 590 - 785 N (60 - 80 kgf, 132 -176 lbf)

NOTE:

2. Loosen the adjust pulley bracket pivot bolt and the adjusting bolt lock nut of the.A/C compressor belt.

3. Turn the adjusting bolt to get proper belt tension, then retighten the adjust pulley bracket pivot bolt and the adjusting bolt lock nut.

4. Recheck the tension of the A/C compressor belt.
