Visually check belt for wear, damage, and cracks on inside and edges.
Turn crankshaft pulley clockwise twice, and check that the tension on all pulleys equalizes before testing.
When measuring deflection, apply 98.1 N (10 kg, 22 lb) at the ( ) marked point.
Measure the belt tension and frequency using suitable tool at the ( ) marked point.

CAUTION:

When checking immediately after installation, first adjust it to the specified value. Then, after turning crankshaft two turns or more, readjust to the specified value to avoid variation in deflection between pulleys.
