5. 설정 및 설치
The following steps provide a general guide for installing the Continental 49552 Accu-Drive Heavy Duty Tensioner Assembly. Specific procedures may vary by vehicle model. Always consult your vehicle's service manual for detailed instructions.
- 준비: 차량을 평평한 곳에 주차하고 주차 브레이크를 걸고 배터리의 음극 단자를 분리하세요. 엔진이 완전히 식도록 두세요.
- 입장: Depending on your vehicle, you may need to remove other components (e.g., air intake, fan shroud) to gain access to the serpentine belt and tensioner.
- 벨트 장력 완화: Locate the tensioner pulley. Using an appropriate wrench or tensioner tool, rotate the tensioner arm to relieve tension on the serpentine belt. Carefully remove the belt from the pulleys.
- 기존 텐셔너를 제거하십시오: Unbolt the old tensioner assembly from its mounting point on the engine. Note its orientation for correct installation of the new unit.
- 새 텐셔너를 설치하세요: Position the new Continental 49552 tensioner assembly in place, ensuring the OE-style locating pins align correctly. Secure it with the appropriate bolts. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific torque specifications.
- Install Serpentine Belt: Route the serpentine belt according to the vehicle's belt routing diagram. Use the tensioner tool to rotate the tensioner arm, allowing enough slack to place the belt over the final pulley. Slowly release the tensioner arm to apply tension to the belt. Double-check that the belt is properly seated in all pulley grooves.
- Reassembly and Test: Reinstall any components removed for access. Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the engine and observe the belt and tensioner for proper operation, ensuring there are no unusual noises or wobbling.

6. 작동 원리
The Continental 49552 Accu-Drive Heavy Duty Tensioner Assembly is a critical component in the vehicle's accessory drive system. Its primary function is to apply constant, optimal tension to the serpentine belt, which drives various accessories such as the alternator, power steering pump, air conditioning compressor, and water pump.
The internal round torsion spring mechanism allows the tensioner arm to pivot, automatically adjusting to changes in belt length due to wear, temperature fluctuations, or engine vibrations. This continuous adjustment ensures proper belt grip, preventing slippage, reducing noise, and extending the lifespan of both the belt and the driven accessories.
7. 유지관리
Proper maintenance of your vehicle's accessory drive system, including the tensioner, is crucial for reliable operation.
- 정기 검사: Periodically inspect the tensioner for signs of wear, such as excessive play in the pulley, corrosion, or a weakened spring. Check the belt for cracks, fraying, or glazing.
- 소음 확인: Listen for unusual noises from the tensioner or belt area, such as squealing, chirping, or grinding, which may indicate a failing tensioner or belt.
- 풀리 상태: Ensure the tensioner pulley rotates smoothly without binding or excessive wobble. The pulley surface should be clean and free of debris.
- 대사: Tensioners are wear items. If the tensioner shows signs of failure or is unable to maintain proper belt tension, it should be replaced promptly to prevent belt slippage or breakage, which can lead to vehicle breakdown.
8. 문제 해결
If you experience issues with your vehicle's accessory drive system, consider the following common troubleshooting steps related to the tensioner:
- Squealing or Chirping Belt: This often indicates insufficient belt tension or a worn belt. Inspect the tensioner for proper operation and the belt for wear. A failing tensioner may not apply enough force.
- 벨트 미끄러짐: If the belt is slipping, it could be due to a weak tensioner spring, a seized pulley, or an incorrect belt length.
- Excessive Vibration or Noise from Tensioner: This may suggest a worn bearing in the tensioner pulley or a failing internal spring mechanism.
- 풀리에서 벨트가 빠지는 경우: This is a serious issue that can be caused by a severely worn tensioner, misaligned pulleys, or an incorrect belt. Immediately address this to prevent damage.
