      Standard Belt Tension
      Item Condition Specified Condition
      New V-ribbed belt 5 to 35°C (41 to 95°F) 550 to 800 N (56 to 82 kgf, 123.6 to 179.8 lbf)
      Used V-ribbed belt 5 to 35°C (41 to 95°F) 300 to 500 N (31 to 51 kgf, 67.4 to 112.4 lbf)

      Tech Tips


      • When measuring the tension of a new V-ribbed belt, measure the tension immediately after installing it to the engine but before starting the engine.

      • A "new V-ribbed belt" is a V-ribbed belt which has been used for less than 5 minutes on a running engine.

      • A "used V-ribbed belt" is a V-ribbed belt which has been used on a running engine for 5 minutes or more.

      • After installing a new V-ribbed belt, run the engine for approximately 5 minutes and then recheck the tension.
