Checking and adjusting V-belts is not required as the spring-loaded tensioner automatically maintains the correct belt tension.
Removal
1. Before removing, note the direction of movement of the V-belt. To do this, draw an arrow on it with a grease pencil.
2. Turn the tension roller lever with a pry bar or large screwdriver against the action of the tension spring and remove the V-belt.

3. Place a pry bar between the two tabs of the belt tensioner damper and turn the tensioner roller to the right until the toothed V-belt is loose enough to remove from the tensioner roller. Then loosen the belt tensioner damper from above and remove the toothed V-belt.
Installation
1. If you are installing an old belt, pay attention to the direction of its old movement. It should be installed only in this direction.
2. Put on the V-belt. Turn the tension roller lever with a pry bar or a large screwdriver in the direction opposite to the action of the tension spring and put the belt on the tension roller. Then slowly release the belt tensioner.
