Drive Belt Tension Inspection

On new drive systems or belt, adjust belt tension after the

first 500 miles (800 km). Adjust tension at each tire

change thereafter.

Tip: Do not inspect or adjust drive belt tension when the belt is

wet. Improper adjustment will result.

Checking drive belt tension involves using the belt tension

gauge (P/N PV-43532). You can also use a Sonic Tension

Meter if available. Before beginning this procedure:
• Make sure the drive system is clean, dry, and at room

temperature (belt and sprockets).

• Be sure suspension is properly adjusted.
• Belt tension must be adjusted at the tightest spot.
