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
22 lb (10 kg) of force. A new belt should deflect 0.3
to 0.5 inch (8 to 12 mm). A used belt should deflect
0.4 to 0.55 inch (10 to 14 mm). 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.
