ER ASSEMBLY AND BELT IDLER

1) Preparation for installation of automatic belt ten-

sion adjuster assembly.

CAUTION:

• Always use a vertical type pressing tool to

move the adjuster rod down.

• Do not use a lateral type vise.

• Push the adjuster rod vertically.

• Press-in the push adjuster rod gradually tak-

ing more than three minutes.

• Do not allow press pressure to exceed 9,807

N (1,000 kgf, 2,205 lb).

• Press the adjuster rod as far as the end sur-

face of the cylinder. Do not press the adjuster

rod into cylinder. Doing so may damage the cyl-

inder.

• Do not release the press pressure until stop-

per pin is completely inserted.

(1) Attach the automatic belt tension adjuster

assembly to the vertical pressing tool.

(2) Slowly move the adjuster rod down with a

pressure of 294 N (30 kgf, 66 lb) until the adjust-

er rod is aligned with the stopper pin hole in the

cylinder.

(3) With a 2 mm (0.08 in) dia. stopper pin or a 2

mm (0.08 in) (nominal) dia. hex wrench inserted

into the stopper pin hole in cylinder, secure the

adjuster rod.

C: INSPECTION

1. TIMING BELT

1) Check the timing belt teeth for breaks, cracks

and wear. If any fault is found, replace the belt.

2) Check the condition of the backside of belt. If

cracks are found, replace the belt.

CAUTION:

• Be careful not to let oil, grease or coolant

contact the belt. Remove quickly and thorough-

ly if this happens.

• Do not bend the timing belt sharply.

2. AUTOMATIC BELT TENSION ADJUST-

1) Visually check the oil seals for leaks, and rod

ends for abnormal wear or scratches. If necessary,

replace the faulty parts.

2) Check that the adjuster rod does not move when

a pressure of 294 N (30 kgf, 66 lb) is applied to it.

This is to check adjuster rod stiffness.

3) If the adjuster rod is not stiff and moves freely

when applying 294 N (30 kgf, 66 lb), check it using

the following procedures:

(1) Slowly press the adjuster rod down to the

end surface of the cylinder. Repeat this opera-

tion two to three times.

(2) With the adjuster rod moved all the way up,

apply a pressure of 294 N (30 kgf, 66 lb) to it.

Check the adjuster rod stiffness.

(3) If the adjuster rod is not stiff and moves

down, replace the automatic belt tension adjust-

er assembly with a new one.

CAUTION:

• Always use a vertical type pressing tool to

move the adjuster rod down.

• Do not use a lateral type vise.

• Push the adjuster rod vertically.

• Press the adjuster rod gradually taking more

than three minutes.

• Do not allow press pressure to exceed 9,807

N (1,000 kgf, 2,205 lb).

• Press the adjuster rod as far as the end sur-

face of cylinder. Do not press the adjuster rod

into cylinder. Doing so may damage the cylin-

der.

4) Measure the amount of rod protrusion beyond

the body. If it is not within specifications, replace

with a new one.

Amount of rod protrusion H:

5.7

0.5 mm (0.224

0.020 in)

3. BELT TENSION PULLEY

1) Check the mating surfaces of timing belt and

contact point of adjuster rod for abnormal wear or

scratches. Replace the automatic belt tension ad-

juster assembly if faulty.

2) Check the belt tension pulley for smooth rota-

tion. Replace if noise or excessive play occurs.

3) Check the belttension pulley for greaseleakage.

4. BELT IDLER

1) Check the belt idler for smooth rotation. Replace

if noise or excessive play occurs.

2) Check the outer contacting surfaces of idler pul-

ley for abnormal wear and scratches.

3) Check the belt idler for grease leakage.
