(12)Install the special tool and a torque wrench to the tensioner pulley.

(13)Using torque wrench, torque to 2.6 Nm.

(14)While holding the tensioner pulley to prevent it from turning, tighten the center bolt to the specified torque.

(15)Give two clockwise turns to the crankshaft and leave as it is for approx. 15 minutes.

(16)Check if the Allen wrench inserted during installation of the auto-tensioner can be pulled out lightly. If it can be pulled out lightly, the belt is properly tensioned. Therefore, pull out the wrench. The belt is also properly tensioned if the auto-tensioner projection is of standard value.

Standard value: 3.8 – 4.5 mm

(17)If the wrench cannot be pulled out lightly, repeat the steps (12) through (15) to obtain appropriate belt tension.

NOTE

Check the tightening torque of the crankshaft bolt always after rotating the crankshaft counterclockwise using the crankshaft bolt. Retighten the bolt if the tightening torque is not up to specification.
