The belt is tensioned correctly if the specified amount of deflection is not exceeded. The deflection value is checked with a vertical load of approximately 60 N (6 kg) at the midpoint along the greatest deflection and should be about 10 mm under these conditions. The deflection of the power steering pump belt should reach about 5 mm. When using a special meter, the following values \u200b\u200bare obtained:
- A new belt with a profile width of 9.5 mm is tensioned by 30 units.
- With a width of 12.5 mm - by 50.
- Belt with "mileage" - by 20-25 units or by 40-45.
