Don’t take chances with the life<br />
of your customers’ engines.<br />
Become an expert in timing<br />
<strong>and</strong> multi-V belt inspection<br />
<strong>and</strong> installation.<br />
A number of factors put greater stress<br />
than ever on automotive belts:<br />
TABLE OF CONTENTS<br />
• Today’s automotive engines<br />
operate at higher temperatures<br />
<strong>and</strong> at greater.<br />
• Today’s engines generate more<br />
horsepower loads.<br />
• Today’s aerodynamic designs<br />
generate higher temperatures<br />
under the hood.<br />
• Today’s engines need to drive<br />
more auxiliary equipment<br />
• Pulley diameters have been made<br />
smaller to save space under the hood.<br />
For optimum performance <strong>and</strong> safety,<br />
SKF recommends that the belt, belt<br />
tensioner units <strong>and</strong> idler pulleys of the<br />
timing system or the auxiliary drive<br />
all be changed at the same time.<br />
Whatever the source of damage to<br />
the belt (too much or too little<br />
tension, vibration, high temperature,<br />
or misalignment, it is highly probable<br />
that other rotating components in the<br />
system have been affected. If they are<br />
not changed together with the belt,<br />
early breakdown may result.<br />
Even worse, a broken timing belt<br />
could destroy your customer’s engine!<br />
If a car has an “interference” engine,<br />
a broken timing belt an result in an<br />
open valve being struck by a moving<br />
piston. This can damage valves,<br />
pistons, cylinder head <strong>and</strong> walls.<br />
Protect your customers’ investment—<br />
<strong>and</strong> your garage’s reputation—by<br />
replacing the belt before it breaks—<br />
<strong>and</strong> by doing the complete job with<br />
high quality replacement components<br />
from SKF.<br />

Protection for your<br />
customers. Profits for you.<br />
More timing belt applications.<br />
The world’s drivers have continued to press for more<br />
responsive, yet more efficient automobiles. The automotive<br />
industry has responded with efficient, overhead cam,<br />
multi-valve engines driven by timing belts. The dramatic<br />
increase in the use—<strong>and</strong> complexity—of these belts has<br />
created new profit opportunities for garages.<br />
New belt designs.<br />
Generic timing belts, made of st<strong>and</strong>ard materials with<br />
st<strong>and</strong>ard tooth profiles, are a thing of the past. New<br />
generation belts are vastly improved, providing the increased<br />
durability <strong>and</strong> smoother performance characteristics dem<strong>and</strong>ed<br />
by today’s engines—<strong>and</strong> your customers.<br />
Application-specific tooth profiles.<br />
The earliest timing belts had a trapezoidal tooth design. But the need to<br />
meet more dem<strong>and</strong>ing applications resulted in the development of belts with<br />
curvilinear <strong>and</strong> modified curvilinear profiles. These different tooth profiles<br />
are not interchangeable: it is critically important to select the correct belt for<br />
every application.<br />
Trapezoidal<br />
High-performance materials.<br />
Until 1985, the st<strong>and</strong>ard material for timing belts was<br />
neoprene. Today the preferred materials is HSN<br />
(highly-saturated nitrile). Though belts made of HSN<br />
appear no different from neoprene belts, they offer far<br />
better performance in the high-temperature engine<br />
compartments of today’s vehicles. All SKF timing<br />
belts are made of HSN.<br />
Fast Facts<br />
Increased engine dem<strong>and</strong>s required tougher, more durable timing belts.<br />
<strong>Belt</strong>s made of HSN cost more—but the added performance makes them<br />
the best value<br />
<strong>Belt</strong>s may look alike, but they are not interchangeable.<br />
Correct tooth profiles are critical.<br />
120<br />

<strong>Timing</strong> belt failure can result in not just inconvenience, but<br />
costly engine damage<br />
The cost of the belt is only 5%-10% of changing the belt.<br />
Your customers will agree that it’s a small price<br />
to pay for peace of mind.<br />

Technical Overview<br />
In today’s modern automotive engines, there has been a quiet revolution. The<br />
need to run more auxiliary equipment, combined with efficiency dem<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong><br />
noise reduction, has caused new belt <strong>and</strong> tensioner systems to be developed.<br />
At first, tensioners were of a fixed nature, usually of metal design. The were<br />
simple to install: just set tension <strong>and</strong> tight. Today, tensioners more likely include<br />
an internal spring or external damper, <strong>and</strong> non-metallic components are<br />
becoming more common. This illustration provides an overview of a modern<br />
belt <strong>and</strong> tensioner system.<br />
Engine front end drive<br />
<strong>Belt</strong> tensioner unit<br />
The belt tensioner unit sets the right tension <strong>and</strong> provides guidance for the belt.<br />
The adjustment of tension during mounting is achieved by means of an eccentric or<br />
by means of a spring acting against a rear plate.<br />
The automatic belt tensioner unit, with its built-in spring <strong>and</strong> friction system,<br />
maintains a constant tension of the belt while the engine is running.<br />
Main designs currently used are shown here:<br />

The crankshaft drives the camshaft(s) <strong>and</strong> actuates the valves via a belt or a<br />
chain. Due to its advantages compared with those of a chain, namely reduced<br />
space, as well as lighter <strong>and</strong> quieter running, the timing belt is widely used by<br />
car manufacturers.<br />
Auxiliary drive<br />
The crankshaft drives auxiliary components (alternator, air conditioning<br />
compressor, power steering pump, ...) via a V or multi-V belt.<br />

Technical Overview, continued<br />
Idler pulley<br />
The idler pulley is fixed <strong>and</strong> allows the belt to be correctly wound around the<br />
driven component. Main designs currently used are shown here:<br />
<strong>Timing</strong> <strong>Belt</strong><br />
The timing belt teeth are of eighter a curved or trapezoid section. Each individual<br />
design can be seen from the product list.<br />
Idler pulley<br />
Idler pulley with rear plate<br />
<strong>Multi</strong>-V belt tensioner pulley<br />
When the auxiliary belt drives several components, belt tensioner pulleys are<br />
used for guiding the belt <strong>and</strong> keeping correct tension along the whole length of<br />
the belt. The pulley profile is often characterised by one or more ribs.<br />
<strong>Timing</strong> belt construction<br />
The timing belt is manufactured with a fibre-glass or steel braided laminated inner<br />
core, coated with synthetic rubber or neoprene.<br />
Example of the designs are shown here:<br />
Idler pulley with multi-V<br />
Automatic BTU with a built-in spring <strong>and</strong><br />
friction system<br />
<strong>Multi</strong>-V belt<br />
An auxiliary belt may consist of one or more V. A multi-V belt is wider <strong>and</strong><br />
thinner than a single V belt <strong>and</strong> usually has between three <strong>and</strong> six ribs. As will be<br />
seen from the list, the belt designation describes each individual design.<br />
SKF belt tensioner pulleys for timing system <strong>and</strong><br />
auxiliary drive are based on state-of-the-art<br />
technology.The years of experience accumulated<br />
by SKF in the design <strong>and</strong> supply of belt<br />
tensioner pulleys to the world's automotive<br />
manufacturers, provide a guarantee of the high<br />
quality <strong>and</strong> performance of each belt tensioner<br />
unit included in the SKF product range.<br />

<strong>Timing</strong> <strong>and</strong> multi-V belts<br />
in the news<br />
Typical problems with timing<br />
<strong>and</strong> auxiliary belt systems<br />
Auto Moto magazine recently<br />
conducted a survey involving 58<br />
top models with a full range of<br />
engine types. The survey attempted<br />
to identify, among other things,<br />
weaknesses or problems that these<br />
vehicles experience in their lifetimes.<br />
The survey revealed that for a high<br />
percentage of the vehicles, there was<br />
a good possibility of problems related<br />
to the timing <strong>and</strong> auxiliary belt<br />
systems. A few are noted here.<br />
Automatic Tensioners—<br />
55 million vehicles <strong>and</strong> growing<br />
As reported in Parts Professional<br />
magazine, automatic belt tensioners<br />
have the potential to create a new<br />
source of income for your garage.<br />
Today there are about 55 million<br />
vehicles on the road equipped with<br />
belt tensioners. And that number is<br />
growing by 10 million vehicles yearly.<br />
Here are a few interesting facts:<br />
• More than 96% of installers polled<br />
by Parts Professional have replaced<br />
OE tensioners in the past year.<br />
One in five garages has installed<br />
more than 11.<br />
• Research indicates that tensioners<br />
can fail as early as 20,000 miles.<br />
The first sign of wear is “noise.”<br />
A tensioner that sounds bad usually is<br />
bad. While the engine is running, listen<br />
to the accessory drive for any noise<br />
coming from the tensioner. If there is:<br />
• Check for pulley bearing failure,<br />
which accounts for about half of all<br />
tensioner failures.<br />
• Another sign of tensioner wear<br />
is a belt that keeps coming off the<br />
tensioner<br />
• Misalignment can also cause the belt<br />
to wear unevenly <strong>and</strong> fail early.<br />
NOTE: A tensioner must be replaced<br />
as a complete assembly. Never try to<br />
pry part the halves of a spring casing<br />
to get to the spring. The spring is<br />
Profit-building tips<br />
• When performing any<br />
under-the-hood service,<br />
take an extra few<br />
minutes to check every<br />
vehicle’s belt <strong>and</strong><br />
tensioner system —<br />
especially if belt squeal<br />
is noticed.<br />
• Recommend a<br />
complete <strong>Multi</strong>-Vbelt<br />
system replacement<br />
to your customers—<br />
the best way to assure<br />
no trouble down<br />
the road.<br />
“alternator belt system<br />
<strong>and</strong> pulley become noisy”<br />
“oil contamination<br />
on belt<br />
causing failure”<br />
“risk of<br />
belt failure”<br />
• With an estimated failure rate of<br />
2%, approximately one in every<br />
50 cars you service might need<br />
a new tensioner.<br />
loaded a very high torque <strong>and</strong> can<br />
cause serious injury or even death.<br />

Frequently asked questions<br />
Frequently asked questions<br />
Q: Tensioners <strong>and</strong> pulleys sometimes look<br />
the same. Can I interchange?<br />
A:You should only fit part numbers<br />
specifically shown for that application.<br />
Automotive engines each have<br />
their own particular performance<br />
characteristics, which means that<br />
tensioner <strong>and</strong> pulleys are designed<br />
<strong>and</strong> tested specifically for each new<br />
motor. The exterior appearance of<br />
the bearing unit may hide internal<br />
changes that have taken place to meet<br />
the change in engine specification,<br />
i.e., Grease performance, bearing<br />
clearance, tolerances, tensioner<br />
spring strength.<br />
Q: Can I refit an old timing belt?<br />
A: NO. Used belts should not be refitted<br />
<strong>and</strong> used. The original belt has already<br />
been in use at its optimized tension, so<br />
the properties of the belt have changed<br />
compared with a new belt.<br />
Q: The tensioner is showing external<br />
corrosion but is rotating freely. Is it okay?<br />
A: Change it. If the belt is being changed,<br />
then it is possible this unit will need<br />
to be functioning on the car for<br />
another 100K km. Don’t take the<br />
risk: internal condition <strong>and</strong> bearing life<br />
cannot be seen.<br />
Q: How often should a complete timing<br />
belt <strong>and</strong> tensioner change be carried out?<br />
A: Most car manufacturers including<br />
PSA, FORD, RENAULT, <strong>and</strong> OPEL<br />
specify complete repairs to their models<br />
during a specified service period.<br />
Outside this period the system should<br />
be checked for damage. Or if you<br />
are in doubt about the condition of<br />
components, you should recommend a<br />
complete change to your customer.<br />
Q: The waterpump needs to be changed.<br />
Am I able to offer my customer a<br />
complete kit?<br />
A: For certain applications, SKF kits include<br />
the waterpump, timing belt <strong>and</strong> tensioners.<br />
It is well known that the belt should be<br />
replaced after changing the pump.<br />
Q: <strong>Multi</strong>-V belt <strong>and</strong> tensioner systems are<br />
becoming more common. What advice<br />
should I give my customer?<br />
A:The multi-V system usually covers<br />
power steering, alternator, <strong>and</strong> air<br />
conditioning. If neglected, there is the<br />
potential that belt failure could cause<br />
problems such as charging sytem failure<br />
or sudden difficuly in steering. On<br />
some engines a snapped multi-V belt<br />
can enter the timing system <strong>and</strong> cause<br />
engine damage .<br />
Q: There are many br<strong>and</strong>s of timing belt<br />
kits available. Why should I use SKF?<br />
A: SKF was the first company to launch<br />
this concept ,<strong>and</strong> since then has<br />
continued to use its OE manufacturing<br />
experience to lead the market with<br />
OE approved components in SKF<br />
br<strong>and</strong>ed boxes.<br />
Q: What’s the main benefit to our garage<br />
for using timing belt kits?<br />
A:You will be more efficient, having the<br />
necessary components in one box. You<br />
will also have the ability to promote a<br />
professional image to your customers<br />
in terms of quality of work <strong>and</strong> service.<br />
The end result is higher customer<br />
satisfaction <strong>and</strong> a stronger business.<br />
Q: Can I buy the tensioner or pulleys on<br />
their own?<br />
A: Sometimes you will only be required<br />
by the customer to change the pulley<br />
or tensioner, so for flexility we offer an<br />
extensive range of these.<br />
Q: What is the difference between a timing<br />
belt kit <strong>and</strong> a multi-V belt kit?<br />
A:The timing belt kit is used on timing<br />
system in which the crankshaft drives<br />
the camshaft(s) <strong>and</strong> actuates the valves<br />
via a timing belt. The multi-V belt kit is<br />
used on auxiliary drives in which the<br />
crankshaft drives auxiliary components<br />
such as the alternator, air conditioning<br />
compressor, power steering pump etc.)<br />
via a multi-V belt.<br />
Q: What is a belt tensioner unit?<br />
A:The belt tensioner unit sets the right<br />
belt tension <strong>and</strong> provides guidance for<br />
the belt.<br />
Q: What is the difference between a BTU<br />
<strong>and</strong> an Automatic BTU?<br />
A:The adjustment of tension during<br />
mounting is achieved by means of an<br />
eccentric or by means of a spring acting<br />
against a near plate.<br />
Q: What is an idler pulley?<br />
A:The idler pulley is fixed <strong>and</strong> allows the<br />
belt to be correctly wound around the<br />
driven components.<br />
Q: How can I check the belt tensioner?<br />
A: Using the SKF TensiCheck, a belt tension<br />
testing device that ensures proper<br />
tension of the belt after mounting.<br />
Q: When should one repair <strong>and</strong>/or change<br />
a timing belt system <strong>and</strong> a multi-V belt<br />
system?<br />
A:The car manufacturers recommend to<br />
change belt <strong>and</strong> belt tension pulleys at:<br />
timing belt drive: 80 000- 120 000 km;<br />
multi-V belt drive: 50 000-80 000 km<br />
Q: What are the contents of the SKF<br />
timing belt <strong>and</strong> multi-V belt kits?<br />
A:VKMA: 1 belt plus 1 or more belt<br />
tension pulleys VKMC: 1 belt plus 1 or<br />
more belt tension pulleys plus 1 water<br />
pump VKM: 1 belt tension pulley with<br />
accessory components like screws or<br />
washers if needed for mounting.<br />
Q: What is the difference between a timing<br />
belt pulley <strong>and</strong> a multi-V belt pulley?<br />
A: Pulleys for multi-V belt can be BTU,<br />
Automatic BTU or Idler. Their profile<br />
is often characterized by one or<br />
more ribs.<br />
Q:What are the main causes of belt damage?<br />
A:Too high or too low tension, vibrations,<br />
high temperature <strong>and</strong> belt misalignment.<br />
Q: Why is it recommended to also change<br />
belt tensioner pulleys when the belt is<br />
repaired?<br />
A:The main source of the belt’s damage<br />
has most definitely affected the other<br />
rotating components of the timing <strong>and</strong><br />
auxiliary systems, like the BTU,<br />
Automatic BTU <strong>and</strong> idler pulley. To<br />
allow a complete <strong>and</strong> safe repair for the<br />
engine, SKF recommends changing the<br />
belt <strong>and</strong> the belt tensioner pulleys at the<br />
same time.<br />

Analyzing belt wear <strong>and</strong> damage<br />
A broken belt is frequently the result of a problem with the system of pulleys <strong>and</strong><br />
shafts which drive it. Therefore, it can be helpful to note the cause of belt breakage<br />
or wear <strong>and</strong> take steps to correct the problem. NOTE: If for any reason you need to<br />
replace a timing belt, DO NOT REINSTALL THE BELT; INSTALL A NEW ONE.<br />

General Hints<br />
Do not use the teeth to block the engine when loosening or tightening<br />
the pulley bolts.<br />
Do no use solvents to clean the pulleys.<br />
Check that the auxiliary compnents controlled by the timing belt<br />
(water pump, oil pump <strong>and</strong> countershaft if appropriate) are functioning<br />
correctly <strong>and</strong> that the other pulleys such as the belt tightening pulley<br />
<strong>and</strong> driver rollers are free, without too much float.<br />

Check for wear on the flanges. Rotate the driving shaft to the TDC of<br />
cylinder number 1; in the case of an engine with a double camshaft,<br />
assure that both are in the TDC position.<br />

start to move CLOCKWISE. Continue<br />
pushing the tensioner until the Load<br />
Stop on the arm <strong>and</strong> the Pointer Tab on<br />
the front plate are separated by 1~2<br />
mm (See Figure 3a).<br />
9. Retract the screw-jack installation<br />
tool slowly until the Mean <strong>Belt</strong> Mark<br />
on the tensioner arm <strong>and</strong> aligns with<br />
the Position Indicator notch in the<br />
Pointer Tab (See Figure 4).<br />
10. Torque the Mounting Nut to 30 Nm<br />
using a torque wrench.<br />
1.Allow the engine <strong>and</strong> tensioner to<br />
stabilize to the same relative ambient<br />
temperature before installing a<br />
tensioner for proper belt tension<br />
adjustment. Do not attempt to install<br />
a cool tensioner onto a hot engine or<br />
vise versa.<br />
2. Rotate both the crankshaft <strong>and</strong><br />
camshaft CLOCKWISE to TDC<br />
(Top Dead Center) position (i.e. #1<br />
cylinder firing position) <strong>and</strong> remove<br />
the timing belt. This defined position<br />
is to be the position where there is<br />
no action (positive or negative) from<br />
the camshaft or other sprockets.<br />
One should find no sudden movement<br />
or abrupt action from either of<br />
4. Mount the tensioner while making<br />
sure that the Ø6 mm Dowel Pin is<br />
fully engaged (See Figure 1) Tensioner<br />
should be mounted flat on the bracket.<br />
5. H<strong>and</strong> tighten the M8 Mounting Nut.<br />
Pre-Installation of the TBT<br />
6. Install the timing belt around the<br />
crankshaft <strong>and</strong> camshaft sprockets<br />
<strong>and</strong> the tensioner as per drive layout<br />
(See Fig. 2a & 2b).<br />
Caution: Do not push the tensioner<br />
beyond this point. Continued travel of<br />
the tensioner arm may result in damage<br />
or deformation of tensioner’s pointer.<br />
Note: When the engine is started <strong>and</strong><br />
idling at room temperature (20°C), the<br />
mean belt position mark on the tensioner<br />
arm should oscillate evenly<br />
about the position indicator notch. The<br />
mean belt position mark oscillating +2°<br />
to -4° of the position indicator notch<br />
centerline is within the permissible tolerance<br />
range (See Figure 5).<br />

3. Slide the pendulum mounting bracket<br />
farthest to the left before mounting<br />
the tensioner. This will ensure that<br />
the tensioner can be mounted easily<br />
when routing the belt.<br />

sudden movement or abrupt action<br />
from either of the sprockets.<br />
Generally cam & crankshaft<br />
sprockets have to line up with<br />
equivalent markings on the engine<br />
block to indicate TDC.<br />
Initial Setup of the TBT<br />
(<strong>Timing</strong> <strong>Belt</strong> Tensioner)<br />
3. Place a new tensioner onto the<br />
engine. Tensioner’s Anti-Rotation<br />
Fingers should fit over the Guiding<br />
Nut on the engine.<br />
4. Rotate the Installation Shaft Washer<br />
until the Hex Hole is pointing at<br />
the “5 O’clock position” then h<strong>and</strong><br />
tighten the M8 Mounting Bolt<br />
(See Figure 1).<br />
Fig. 1<br />
Installation of the TBT<br />
5. Install the timing belt being careful to<br />
engage the appropriate teeth of all<br />
the corresponding sprockets as per<br />
drive layout (See Figure 2).<br />
(Caution: Do not disturb the position of<br />
the crankshaft or camshaft sprockets<br />
during this procedure.)<br />
6. Rotate the Installation Shaft Washer<br />
CLOCKWISE with a Hex Key.<br />
Make sure to hold the mounting<br />
bolt with a Wrench in order to<br />
prevent it from turning when rotating<br />
the Installation Shaft Washer. The<br />
Tensioner assembly will move against<br />
the belt <strong>and</strong> the Arm will eventually<br />
start to move CLOCKWISE<br />
(See Figure 3).<br />
Fig. 3<br />
7. Continue rotating the Installation<br />
Shaft Washer until the Arm Pointer<br />
is positioned within the Nominal<br />
Position Window on the base plate,<br />
then lock the tensioner in this<br />
position by tightening the Mounting<br />
Nut with 19±3 Nm of torque<br />
(See Figure 4).<br />
Verification of the Nominal Position<br />
8. Remove both the Hex Key <strong>and</strong> the<br />
Wrench. Rotate the crankshaft two<br />
(2) complete revolutions manually<br />
for proper seating of the belt until<br />
the crankshaft is repositioned at the<br />
TDC position.<br />
Note: Repositioning the crankshaft to<br />
the TDC position must be done only<br />
during the clockwise rotation.<br />
9. Check the position of the Arm Pointer.<br />
– If the Arm Pointer still remains within<br />
the Nominal Position Window, the<br />
installation is complete.<br />
– If not, go to step #10. The installation<br />
needs to be repeated until the proper<br />
position is achieved.<br />
Readjustment<br />
10. Engage the Hex Key <strong>and</strong> retain<br />
it’s position while loosening the<br />
Mounting Bolt with the Wrench.<br />
The Mounting Bolt <strong>and</strong> the<br />
Tensioner do not need to be<br />
removed. Rotate the Installation<br />
Shaft Washer counterclockwise with<br />
the Hex Key until the Arm Pointer<br />
returns to the Free-Arm Position<br />
(See Figure 1). Follow step #5~9.<br />

SKF <strong>Multi</strong>-V <strong>Belt</strong> <strong>Kits</strong><br />
SKF now offers kits for auxiliary belt replacement. These kits offer quality<br />
<strong>and</strong> convenience when replacing belts that drive alternators, air conditioner<br />
compressors, etc.<br />
<strong>Multi</strong>-V <strong>Belt</strong> <strong>Kits</strong> include 1 auxiliary belt, 1 idler pulley, <strong>and</strong> 1 belt<br />
tensioner unit plus mounting instructions.<br />
Examine the old belt<br />
Looking closely at the condition of the belt you have removed can provide<br />
important clues about the drive system, for example, worn pulleys, partially or<br />
completed seized components, oil leakage, etc.<br />
Regardless of the condition of the belt, SKF recommends installing a new belt<br />
to assure maximum efficiency of the engine, <strong>and</strong> trouble-free operation for<br />
your customers.<br />
Removing <strong>and</strong> checking<br />
multi-V belts <strong>and</strong> pulley fittings<br />
Following are general guidelines for the replacement of multi-V or “serpentine”<br />
belts. Because every engine is different, please consult your workshop manual<br />
for more specific instructions.<br />
Getting started<br />
• Disconnect the battery leads.<br />
• Put the h<strong>and</strong>brake on.<br />
Technical Tips<br />
Use every service as an opportunity to add value to your customer<br />
relationships by checking the condition of the engine’s multi-V belts.<br />
They’ll appreciate your concern for their safety.<br />
Deposits of material in the ribs of a belt typically will not cause the<br />
belt to break but instead cause excessive noise <strong>and</strong> vibration. This<br />
condition can be caused by excessive slippage due to insufficient<br />
tension, misaligned pulleys, or worn pulley profiles.<br />
A mis-aligned pulley will typically cause cord popout, in which a<br />
section of cord appears at the side of the belt. This problem can be<br />
serious when the cord becomes tangles in a fixed component.<br />
• Before removing the old belt, observe the path of the belt on the various<br />
pulleys. Mark on the old belt the direction in which it is fitted, so you can<br />
install the new belt correctly.<br />
• Before removing the belt, check the alignment of the pulleys. (You will want<br />
to recheck the alignment after installing the new belt.)<br />
Eliminating belt tension<br />
• If the drive has an automatic belt tensioner spring, use the appropriate wrench<br />
to rotate the belt tightening pulley in the opposite direction from which it is<br />
stretched. Release the tension <strong>and</strong> block the tensioner by inserting a clamp pin<br />
in its place.<br />
• If the drive has an automatic hydraulic tensioner, release the tension by rotating<br />
the pulley, as described above. Remove the hydraulic tensioner <strong>and</strong> compress<br />
the small piston with a clamp until its opening corresponds to the hole on the<br />
base of the tensioner. Block the small piston with an appropriate pin.<br />
• Unscrew the stop nut(s) of the belt tensioner <strong>and</strong> remove the belt. If necessary,<br />
also unscrew the lock nut(s) of the alternator or other accessories driven by<br />
the multi-V belt.<br />

SKF TensiCheck measuring<br />
The SKF TensiCheck device made by SKF is an accurate, universal belt tension<br />
testing device which can be used on almost all car models.<br />
It can be used to check both the timing belts <strong>and</strong> auxiliary belts (3 to 8 ribs)<br />
contained in the SKF VKMA kits, along with many other automotive belt sizes.<br />
Because it calculates the correct tension to be applied to each belt <strong>and</strong> compares<br />
this tension with the tension of the installed belt, the user immediately knows if<br />
the belt is correctly loaded (green “OK” lamp lights up),<br />
insufficiently loaded (red “–” lamp<br />
lights up) or over-loaded (red “+”<br />
lamp lights up).<br />
Moreover the accurate tension,<br />
measured in daN, is displayed on the<br />
3<br />
right part of the screen.<br />

3. Select the belt characteristics using the following grey buttons.<br />
<strong>Timing</strong> belt (top grey button)<br />
4. <strong>Belt</strong> material HSN or XS / non HSN or non XS<br />
(second from the top grey button).<br />
5. Tooth profile curvilinear / trapezoidal (third from the top grey button).<br />
6. Width (mm) of the belt (up <strong>and</strong> down grey buttons at the bottom):<br />
The width will be displayed at the leftside of the screen.<br />
Note 1: the width <strong>and</strong> the material of timing belts are usually indicated<br />
on the back of the belt:<br />
41121x18 means 18 mm width <strong>and</strong> non HSN or XS material,<br />
58113x1’’ HSN means 25.4 mm width <strong>and</strong> HSN material.<br />
Note 2 : 1’’1/4 = 32 mm 1’’ = 25.4 mm 3/4’’ = 19 mm 1/2’’ = 12.7 mm.<br />
Auxiliary belt (top grey button).<br />
Number of V (up <strong>and</strong> down grey buttons at the bottom) :<br />
The number of V will be displayed at the left side of the screen.<br />
7,8. Install the mechanical grip on the belt.<br />
9.The mechanical grip must be placed at right angles to the belt with the<br />
two fingers on the back of the belt, the single finger on the opposite<br />
side of the belt must be placed in between two teeth (for timing belts)<br />
or at right angles to the ribs (for auxiliary belts). The belt must be<br />
placed in the middle of the single finger : the middle of the belt width<br />
must be in front of the arrows shown on the grip’s body. Turn the knob<br />
to clockwise until it locks (blocking point).<br />

10. Press the green start button.<br />
11A. If, after pressing the green start button, three dots (...) are displayed on the<br />
right side of the screen instead of a load, check theparameters of the belt<br />
you have selected. This means that the belt type is not recognized by the<br />
SKF TensiCheck. Restart the opera-tion from step 3.<br />
11B. If the “-’’ red lamp lights up: the belt is insufficiently loaded.<br />
11C. If the “+’’ red lamp lights up: the belt is over-loaded.<br />
11D. If the “OK’’ green lamp lights up: the belt is correctly loaded.<br />
If necessary, when the “-’’ or “+’’ red lamps are lit up, remove the mechanical<br />
grip from the belt, adjust the belt load <strong>and</strong> restart the operation from step 1.<br />
CAUTION:<br />
• IMPORTANT: the belt tension must be set by progressively increasing the<br />
belt load. Thus it is important for the adjustment of the belt tension to slacken<br />
it completely <strong>and</strong> then restart to tension it.<br />
• If the SKF TensiCheck beeps : the load applied on the mechanical grip is too<br />
high. Stop turning the knob immediately. If you do not you may damage the<br />
load sensor mounted in the mechanical grip.<br />
• If the beep is continuous : the load sensor has been over-loaded <strong>and</strong> thus cannot<br />
perform correctly.<br />
• If the SKF TensiCheck is switched on <strong>and</strong> not used within 15 minutes it switches<br />
off automatically.<br />
• If the red power lamp (above of the red ON / OFF button) flashes, change the<br />
battery as soon as possible. The accuracy of the results could be affected if the<br />
battery does not have enough power.<br />
• The recommended battery to be used is an alkaline 9 V battery, type PP3/6LR61,<br />
or alternatively you can use the auxiliary power cable SKF VKNA 10 connected<br />
to the car battery.<br />
