5. പരിപാലനം
The Continental 49293 Accu-Drive Tensioner Assembly is designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. However, periodic inspection of the entire serpentine belt system is recommended as part of your vehicle's routine maintenance schedule.
പരിശോധനാ മാർഗ്ഗനിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ:
- വിഷ്വൽ പരിശോധന: Regularly inspect the tensioner pulley for signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Check the tensioner arm for proper movement and ensure it is not seized or excessively loose.
- ബെൽറ്റ് അവസ്ഥ: Examine the serpentine belt for cracks, fraying, glazing, or missing ribs. Replace the belt if any signs of wear are present.
- ശബ്ദ പരിശോധന: Listen for any squealing, chirping, or grinding noises coming from the tensioner or belt system, especially during engine startup or acceleration. These noises can indicate a failing tensioner or worn belt.
- ടെൻഷൻ പരിശോധന: While the engine is off, observe the tensioner's position. It should maintain consistent tension on the belt. Excessive vibration or flapping of the belt during engine operation may indicate a failing tensioner.
If any issues are detected during inspection, it is recommended to replace the tensioner assembly to prevent further damage to the belt system or other engine components.
