BELT ADJUSTMENT Tensioners may be used to automatically adjust belt tension to specification. Check belt for fraying. If fraying exists, ensure belt and tensioner are properly aligned. See Fig. 1 . Tensioners may contain a belt-wear indicator. See Fig. 2 , Fig. 3 or Fig. 4 . If tensioner reaches travel limit, as indicated by marks on tensioner, replace belt. Ensure serpentine belts are properly installed. See Fig. 5 -Fig. 9 . On vehicles without tensioners, ensure belt tension is within specification. 12 valve belt routing
