CHECK ENGINE ACCESSORY
DRIVE BELTS
BELT TENSION
Properly tensioned drive belts
minimize noise and also prolong
service life of the belt. Therefore,
it is recommended that a belt ten-
sion gauge be used to check and
adjust the belt tension. Any belt that
has operated for a minimum of 10
minutes is considered a used belt,
A1995-C and when adjusted, it must be ad-
justed to the reset tension shown in
the specifications.
FIG. 1. Install the belt tension tool on
the drive belt (Fig. 18) and check
the tension following the instructions
of the tool manufacturer.
Due to the inaccessibility of the
alternator belt on a Comet equipped
with air conditioning and power
steering, a belt tension gauge cannot
be used. Therefore, it must be ten-
sioned by the deflection method.
Deflection should not exceed 1/4inch
when thumb pressure is applied.
2. If adjustment is necessary,
loosen the alternator mounting and
adjusting arm bolts. Move the alter-
nator toward or away from the en-
gine until the correct tension is
obtained. Tighten the alternator ad-
justing arm and the mounting bolts.
