Title: belt tension Post by joscswny on 06/08/11 at 12:13:25 I saw it somewhere but I can't find it again. How do I tell if my belt is tensioned properly. I do not have the factory tool kit nor the little tension measuring doohickie? :-[ |

Set the tension so that you can grab the belt & twist it 90* 1/2 way between the pulleys. You shuldnt need to be a weight lifter, Mine squeaks anyway, so I use canning wax on the belt. |
