Always wear goggles when working on air conditioning systems. The system is under pressure at all times, engine running or not. Escaping refrigerant R-12 (C C12 F2 Dichloro Difluoro Methane) and refrigerant R-134A can cause freezing of human flesh. Do not smoke while working on air conditioning. Inhaling Refrigerant R-12 or R-134A through any smoking material, although not toxic or flammable, can cause violent illness. Also heat must never be applied to a charged system. See Air Conditioning And Heating Service Manual Form No. SENR3334-01 and SENR5664, for more information on removal and installation of lines and refrigerant from the system. |

9. Use tool (A) to get the correct belt tension. Adjust the belt tension (new belt) to 534 ± 22 N (120 ± 5 lb).
For a used belt the tension is 400 ± 44 N (90 ± 10 lb).
NOTE: A used belt is one which has more than 30 minutes of operation at rated engine speed.
10. After the correct belt tension is obtained, tighten all bolts and nuts.
