Checking the belt tension
The belt tension can be checked by depressing the fan belt (engine not running!) at a point midway between
the generator and fan. It should be possible to press down the belt about 1/4" - 3/8" (5-10 mm). This also
applies to other drive belts on the engine.
WARNING! The engine must not be running when this check is
performed.
Belt check
Check the belt regularly to make sure it is in good condition and is clean. Worn or dirty belts can cause poor
cooling and low generator output as well as impair the operation of the power steering and the air
conditioning unit.
