Drive belt check

Drive belt check

To check the tension of each belt, the following rule of thumb is recommended.

push firmly on the belt with your thumb at a distance halfway between the pulleys and note how far the belt can be pushed or deflected and measure this deflection with a ruler.

The belt should deflect ¼-inch if the distance from the pulley center to pulley center 7 and 11 inches; the belt should deflect ½ inch if the distance from pulley center to pulley center is between 12 to 16 inches.
