Installation

NOTE: When the belt must be handled and mounted, avoid creating bends at an acute angle. This can compromise the structure of the belt, as the stresses induced by excessive bending could result in damage to the fibers inside the belt, which could cause premature failure of the belt during operation of the engine.

NOTE: Install the timing belt, aligning it initially on the crankshaft gear, water pump pulley, camshaft gear, and finally the tensioner.

1. Bring the timing belt to the maximum tension by turning the tensioner (1a) counterclockwise and secure with the nut (1b) when the alignment reference (1c) is in the position. Tighten the nut (1b) to 25 Nm or 19 Foot Pounds.
