Subaru Legacy/Outback

1. Privodnye belts are located in a forward part of the power unit and play the important role in functioning of the engine and many other systems of the car. Eventually belts wear out and should look round regularly according to the schedule of routine maintenance of the car in order to avoid the serious engine failures which correction of consequences can cost a pretty penny to the owner of the car.
2. The quantity used on concrete model of the car drivers belts depends on a vehicle complete set auxiliary units. Belts are used for a drive of the generator, steering and water pumps, and also the compressor of the conditioner of air. Depending on character of an arrangement of pulleys by one belt it can be put in action more than one unit.
3. Muffle the engine, open a cowl and find приводные belts. Highlighting itself a small lamp, fingers feel belts on all their length, checking on presence of cracks and stratifications. Presence on a belt of attritions, заполированных to shine of sites and other obvious defects is inadmissible also. Examine belts from both parties for what overwind them. Defective belts are subject to replacement without fail. Check up a condition of edges on the bottom party of belts, - they should have identical depth in the absence of deformation signs.

The estimation of effort of a tension of a belt can be made a way нажимания on it a thumb on a site in the middle between pulleys of the generator (belt) / compressor K/V (belt) and a cranked shaft. Pressing should be firm enough (with effort of an order 10 кГс). In parametre, характеризирующим the effort of a tension of a belt, is size of its deflection at нажимании. The admissible range makes 7.0 ч 9.0 mm (a new belt)/9.0 ч 10.0 mm (the belt which was in the use) for belt A and 7.5 ч 8.5 mm (a new belt)/9.0 ч 10.0 mm (the belt which was in the use) for a belt In (models with К/В).

Correctness of a tension drive a belt proves to be true a finding of the index within a working range (D) a display scale automatic натяжителя.

1. As a rule, updating of effort of a tension of a belt (easing/strengthening) is carried out by displacement in the corresponding party of the hinged auxiliary unit resulted by a belt. In this case it is the generator and-or an intermediate (tension) roller.
2. Usually on each of used on the engine drivers belts it is necessary on one component which fixture is carried out by means of axial/lock and adjusting bolts. The Axial/lock bolt is released, then the adjusting rotates in the corresponding party.
3. For easing of effort of a tension of a belt the component should be displaced towards the engine and on the contrary. Having finished updating, track reliability of a tightening of bolts.
4. On some models for displacement of hinged units it is necessary to take advantage of the lever, - observe extreme care, try not to damage units.
