Figure 12-13 Starter/Generator Installation
Belt Tension Adjustment
Belt tension should be checked periodically. If the belt slips when starter/generator motor operates, adjust belt
to correct tension.
1. Disconnect the battery cables as instructed. See WARNING "To avoid unintentionally starting..." in
General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1.
2. Access engine compartment.
• For Turf 2, Carryall 2 or Carryall 2 Plus: Tilt the bed and engage prop rod.
• For Carryall 6 or TransPorter 4: Remove the bed.
• For Villager 6 or 8: Remove the seat.
3. Make sure the two pivot bolts (5) on the mounting bracket are finger tight. The carriage bolt (11) and hex
nut (12) are to be finger tight also (Figure 12-13, Page 12-11).
4. Push the starter/generator down so it is at the lowest point of its adjustment travel. With the starter/gen-
erator belt in place around the drive clutch pulley, install the starter/generator belt (3) around the pulley
(10) on the end of the starter/generator.
5. Position a pry bar (13) between the top of the starter/generator mounting bracket (2) and the underside
of the starter/generator by passing the pry bar under the exhaust header.
6. While holding the pry bar, measure the belt tension using a Krikit
Parts stores), or equivalent. Proper tension for a new starter/generator belt should be 75 ft-lb (101.7 N·m)
or 45 ft-lb (61 N·m) for an existing belt (Figure 12-14, Page 12-11).
7. While maintaining the tension, tighten the adjustment nut (12) to 12 ft-lb (16.3 N·m). Tighten the two pivot
bolts (5) and hex nuts (7) to 23 ft-lb (31.2 N·m) (Figure 12-13, Page 12-11). See following CAUTION.
ý
CAUTION
• Remove pry bar before starting engine.
8. Connect battery cables, positive (+) cable first, and tighten hardware to 12 ft-lb (16 N·m).
See Figure 10-1, Section 10, Page 10-3. Coat terminals with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (CCI P/
N 1014305) to minimize corrosion.
