OTC Belt Tension Gauge (4748)

The OTC Belt Tension Gauge (4748) is a reliable tool designed to accurately measure and set belt tension on secondary drive belts. It’s specifically calibrated for belts requiring a 10 lb. tension specification.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:Accurate Measurement: Ensures precise belt tensioning for optimal performance. Easy-to-Read Design: Simple to use and interpret results.SPECIFICATIONS:Tension Capacity: 10 lbs. Material: High-quality metal and rubber components.HOW TO USE:Initial Reading:
Position the small O-ring over the 10 lb. mark and place the U-shaped cradle against the belt at a 90-degree angle. Align the large O-ring to a reference point on the belt and note the initial reading. Measuring Deflection:
Apply pressure to the rubber bumper until the small O-ring touches the tool’s base. Re-align the large O-ring to the same reference point and note the final reading. Checking Specification:
Consult your vehicle’s service manual to determine the correct deflection specification for your specific belt. Adjust the belt tension accordingly to match the specified deflection.BENEFITS OF USING OTC BELT TENSION GAUGE (4748):Prolonged Belt Life: Proper tensioning reduces premature wear and tear.
