5.5.2.6 COMPRESSOR BELT ASSEMBLY
Once the proper length of the belt has been
determined (refer to
Section 5.5.2.4
), and
the belt is shortened to its fitted length (refer
to
Section 5.5.2.5
), then the belt’s ends are
linked together to form the completed belt
loop. Refer to
Figure 5-5
, and the following
procedure:
1. Place tab [
A
] corner against the
inside of the link hole [
B
] (nearest
to thumb [

]).
2. With thumb [
C
], push on the tab’s
edge in the direction indicated.
3. Simultaneously with Step #2
above, push on link end [
B
] with
thumb [
D
] in the direction
indicated.
NOTE:
Inset [
E
] shows
how the pressure applied from
both thumbs causes the tab to
“rotate” toward the slot position.
4. When tab is positioned parallel
with the slot, push it/pull it
through the slot.
5. After the tab is through the slot,
twist it 90°, as shown in [
F
], to
secure it into place.
