Drive Belt Tension Data
Specifications are listed below for deflection and sonic tension. Sonic tension measurement
requires Gates Sonic Tension Meter 507C or an equivalent.
Drive Belt Deflection (Using PV-43532 Tension Gauge)
Drive Belt Sonic Tension (Using Sonic Tension Meter)
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.
