AUTO-TENSIONER

(1) Check for oil leaks. If oil leaks are evident, replace the

auto-tensioner.

(2) Check the rod end for wear or damage and replace the

auto-tensioner if necessary.

(3) Measure the rod projection length “L”. If the reading is

outside the standard value, replace the auto tensioner.

Standard value “L”: 12 mm

(4) Press the rod by a force of 98 to 196 N and measure

the rod stroke. If the measured value exceeds the standard

value, replace the tensioner.
