Set the timing belt auto-tensioner as shown in the illustration.
2.Press the rod slowly down to the lowest point "A" shown in the illustration.
3.Repeat step 2 three times.
4.While the rod is projected at the point "B" shown in the illustration, push the rod with 100 - 200 N. Check the enough stiffness. If the stiffness is not enough, replace the timing belt auto-tensioner.
