Dayco® ela™ stretch belts are specially designed to have self-tensioning capabilities, required by specific OE drives. Vehicles that are manufactured with stretch belts must be replaced with stretch belts - these belts are not interchangeable with standard constructed belts of their same size.
Features & Benefits:
Proprietary EPDM construction that is designed to elongate over the fixed pulley system and then maintain the required belt tension over the life of the belt
Specially developed polyamide tensile member allows for the high elongation required for installation, but provides the proper tension maintenance
Belt construction incorporates a wear resistant EPDM rib material, along with a highly elastic EPDM cushion rubber, that surrounds the polyamide tensile cord, providing the required adhesion and flexibility for lasting performance
Installation may require a specialized tool for the application or a simple zip tie. Do not attempt to install by prying the belt on the pulleys. Dayco provides detailed instructions on the reverse side of the sleeve
Installation Tip: Prior to installation, Stretch Fit belts are shorter than the actual working length, but once installed they automatically tension.
