6.2.5 Checking the Belt Tension for the Rotational Axis
Using a push-pull gauge, push the timing belt for vertical axis with a force of 300 to 400 gf and measure
the amount of deflection.
If the deflection is 0.7 mm, the belt tension is normal.
If the deflection is not 0.7 mm, adjust the tension by referring to 6.2.7, “Adjusting the Belt Tension for
the Rotational Axis.”
z When measuring deflection, do not use a gauge with a sharp positioning precision that may
damage the belt.
