GENERAL
Pulley alignment must be checked out to ensure
the highest efficiency of the transmission system.
Furthermore, optimum drive belt operation and
minimal wear will be obtained only with proper
pulley alignment.
CAUTION: Before checking pulley adjustment,
the rear suspension must be mounted on the
vehicle and track tension/alignment must be
done. Always check pulley adjustment after
suspension is adjusted.
