DRIVE SYSTEM
NOTE: Use belt tension gauge TK P/N 204-427 whenever possible to check belt tension. However, on
some unit models, and on some belts, it is difficult to use the gauge. Adjust these belts to allow 12 mm
of deflection at the centre of the longest span. New belts should be tensioned cold and tensioned cold
again after 10 hours of unit operation.

** SLe, SPECTRUM SL, SLX, SLXe, SLXi and SLX/SLXe/SLXi SPECTRUM units have one/two automatic tensioning
fan drive belt systems, in order to drive the compressor and the evaporator fanshaft. SLX/SLXe only has one, SL has two
(Upper and Lower).
The lower polygroove belt runs from the engine/compressor to the intermediate jackshaft (or electric motor, depending on
the unit model).
The upper polygroove belt links the intermediate jackshaft to the evaporator fanshaft, incorporating other belt driven
components such as the condenser blowers and the alternator.
