It is recommended to replace all belts at once, even if only one is worn. The belt sizes are specified in the operating instructions. Too little tension on the V-belt leads to increased wear or failure of the belt.
If the tension is too high, the bearings of the corresponding units may fail.
1. The V-belt must be replaced in cases of: excessive wear, frayed sides, traces of oil, porosity, cracks on the surface.
2. Check the V-belt tension by pressing firmly with your thumb in the middle between the two belt pulleys that are the farthest apart.
3. The V-belt of the generator and power steering pump should deflect by approximately 5 mm.
4. The air conditioning compressor V-belt should deflect approximately 10 mm.
5. V-belts, replace if necessary.
Attention! Check the tension of the new belt again after 10 minutes of operation.
