Servicing the Drive Belts

Check the condition and tension of the alternator/cooling
fan belt after every 100 operating hours. Replace the belt as
necessary.
1. Position the sprayer on a level surface, set the parking
brake, stop the pump, stop the engine, and remove the
ignition key.
2. Check the tension by depressing the belt midway
between the alternator and the crankshaft pulleys with
22 lb (10 kg) of force.
Note: The belt should deflect 0.39 to 0.47 inches (10 to
12 mm). If the deflection is not correct, go to step 3. If
it is correct, you may skip the remainder of this
procedure and resume operating the sprayer.
3. Loosen the bolts that secure the brace to the engine and
the bolt that secures the alternator to the brace (Fig. 52).
