Improperly tensioned belts cause slippage, squealing, heat build-up and premature failure. Dayco engineers recommend careful belt tensioning. After a new belt has been installed, run engine for 3 to 5 minutes to seat belt. After seating belt, reset tension to amount recommended in the RETENSION AMOUNT column of the Belt Tension Table shown below.
