This V-belt transmits power from the engine to the driven components in the drive system. It is a four-rib, joined belt that runs on matching pulleys to maintain consistent tension across the span. A worn or stretched belt slips under load, causing reduced rotational speed at the driven shaft and potential overheating from friction. This original-manufacturer belt is formed to the same cross-section and pitch length as the factory assembly, so it seats fully in the pulley grooves without requiring shimming or adjustment to the tensioner travel. On installation, verify the belt routing matches the original path and that the tensioner is set to the specified deflection.
