Belt Maintenance
Adjusting the Alternator Belt
Service Interval: After the first 8 hours—Check condition
and tension of the alternator belt.
Every 200 hours—Check 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.

belt tension is attained, then tighten the mounting
bolts.

3. Adjust the jam nuts or ball joint until the back, rear edge
of the clutch pedal is 9.5 ± 0.3 cm (3.75 ± 0.12 inch)
from the top of the floor plate diamond pattern, when
an 1.8 kg (4 lb) force is applied to the pedal (Figure 66).
