What is the belt routing for the Zotye Damai X7?

Remember the installation position of the car alternator belt and the bending sequence of the engine wheels it loops around. Peel the alternator belt off the pulley and then remove the alternator belt. Press the belt by hand to check its tightness, ensuring the alternator belt is installed in the correct position, and strictly adjust the pivot bolt according to the manufacturer's instructions.
The belt routing for the Zotye Damai X7 primarily refers to the installation path of the engine's timing or accessory belt. In my daily auto repair work, I frequently handle this. It usually starts from the crankshaft pulley, goes counterclockwise around the alternator pulley, power steering pump pulley, and finally to the compressor pulley and tensioner pulley. The exact sequence may vary depending on the model year, so it's advisable to take a photo or consult the repair manual to confirm the positions before starting. When replacing the belt, remember to loosen the tensioner bolt to remove the old belt. When installing the new belt, ensure the grooves align with the pulley grooves and avoid reversing the direction to prevent slipping or unusual noises. Basic wrenches are all the tools needed, but safety first—wear gloves to protect your hands from pinching. If routed incorrectly, the belt may wear prematurely or affect power steering performance. It's best to perform this operation when the engine is cold to avoid burns. Regularly inspect the belt for cracks and tension to extend its service life.
