Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Disconnect the battery and remove any components obstructing belt access (e.g., water pump, alternator).
2. Remove Old Belt: Loosen the tensioner pulley, slide the belt off the camshaft and crankshaft pulleys.
3. Install New Belt: Place the new belt onto the pulleys, ensuring teeth align correctly with gear marks.
4. Tension Adjustment: Tighten the tensioner to the manufacturer’s specified torque.
5. Check Timing: Rotate the engine by hand to verify that all timing marks line up and that there is no interference.
6. Reassemble: Reinstall removed components and reconnect the battery.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the belt for cracks, fraying, or glazing every 20,000 km.
• Check tension regularly; a loose belt can lead to timing loss.
• Avoid exposing the belt to excessive heat or oil leaks; clean any contaminants promptly.
• Replace the belt at the recommended interval to prevent catastrophic engine damage.
