Belt Maintenance

Adjusting Belts

Adjusting the Alternator Belt
Service Interval: After the first 8 hours—Check the
condition and tension of the alternator
belt.
Every 200 hours—Check the condition and tension of
the alternator belt.
1. Raise the bed (if so equipped) and position the safety
support on the extended lift cylinder to hold up the
bed.
2. Check the tension by pressing the belt at mid span
between the crankshaft and alternator pulleys with 10
kg (22 lb) of force. A new belt should deflect 8 to 12
mm (0.3 to 0.5 inch). A used belt should deflect 10 to
14 mm (0.4 to 0.55 inch). If the deflection is incorrect,
proceed to the next step. If correct, continue operation.
3. To adjust belt tension, complete the following:
•
Loosen the 2 alternator mounting bolts.

to allow 2.54 to 6.35 mm (0.100 to 0.250 inch) of
clearance between the accelerator pedal arm and the
top of the diamond tread floor plate (Figure 68), when
a 11.3 kg (25 lb) force is applied to the center of the
