Pressing force: 98 N.
Measure belt tension.
Pic. 2.317. Points of application of forces when checking the poly-V-belt of the power steering pump drive
Note. Measure the belt deflection at the point indicated in Figure 2.317.
Note. When installing a new belt, adjust the tension to the nominal value.
Note. When testing a belt that has been in use for more than 5 minutes, use the values for «Used belt».
Note. When reinstalling a belt that has been used for more than 5 minutes, adjust the deflection and tension to the average values given for «Used belt».
Note. Check the tension and deflection of the V-ribbed belt after two revolutions of the crankshaft.
Note. When using a belt tension gauge, verify its accuracy with a reference gauge.
