CAUTION: Disconnect the battery ground cable (-).

Slacken off the four hex. nuts and push the fan forward.

Use a 15 mm (19/32 in.) wrench to turn the cap screw in the idler roll clockwise (see arrow) until the two holes (A) and (B) are aligned.

Insert a metal pin with a dia. of 5 mm (0.2 in.) into the two aligned holes.

Before tensioning, turn the idle roll a little to relieve the pressure on the metal pin, and then take out the metal pin. The drive belt tensioner returns to its tensioning position automatically.
