Q: How do I use the OTC 4748 Belt Tension Gauge?
A: To use the gauge, position the small O-ring over the 10 lb. mark. Place the U-shaped belt cradle against the bottom of the belt at a 90-degree angle and align the large O-ring to a reference point. Push upward on the rubber bumper until the small O-ring touches the tool's body, then re-align the large O-ring to the reference point. The difference in readings indicates the belt deflection. Refer to your service manual for specific deflection specifications.
