2-26 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Periodic Maintenance Procedures
Measure the belt deflection [A] as shown:
Place a straightedge [B] on top of the belt between the
drive pulley [C] and the driven pulley [D].
Use a ruler to push the belt away from the straightedge.
Push hard, but with no more force than 59 N (6 kgf, 13 lb).
Belt Deflection
Standard: 22 27 mm (0.87 1.06 in.)
If the belt deflection is not within the specified range, ad-
just the deflection by adding or removing spacers on the
fixed sheave of the driven pulley.
When adjusting the deflection, less is better than m ore.
Less deflection will maintain better performance for more
time as the belt width decreases by normal wear, which
causes the deflection to increase with usage.
Drive Belt Deflection Adjustment
Disassemble the driven pulley (see Converter System
chapter).
If the belt deflection is more than 27 m m (1.06 in.), remove
the spacers to decrease it.
The rule-of-thumb is: 0.1 mm (0.004 in.) change in spacer
thickness equals about 1.3 mm (0.051 in.) change in belt
deflection.
If the adjustment cannot be done within the specified
range even if the shim is removed, replace the drive belt.
If the belt deflection is less than 22 mm (0.87 in.), add the
spacers [A] to increase it.
The rule-of-thumb is: 0.1 mm (0.004 in.) change in spacer
thickness equals about 1.6 mm (0.063 in.) change in belt
deflection.
NOTE
When using the plural spacers, install the thick spacer
to the movable sheave side and thin spacer to the fixed
sheave side.
