How does the Gates KRIKIT help me maintain my V-Belt tension?

The Gates KRIKIT V-Belt Tension Gauge removes the guesswork by providing accurate readings every time, ensuring your belts are neither too loose nor too tight.

Can I use this tool for my timing belt?

No, this tension gauge is specifically designed for V-belts and is not recommended for use on timing belts.

What are the recommended installation tension specs for new belts?

For new belt installation, set the tension to 40 kg for 10 section belts and 55 kg for 13 section belts.

When should I re-check the tension of my belts after installation?

After setting the initial installation tension, run the engine for five minutes and check the tension again. If they fall below the tension range (25-30 kg for 10 section or 40-45 kg for 13 section), adjust them back to the installation specs.
