Belt Maintenance
Adjusting Belts
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. Check the tension by pressing the belt at mid span
between the crankshaft and alternator pulleys with 98
N (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.
2. To adjust belt tension, complete the following:
•
Loosen the 2 alternator mounting bolts.

•
Using a bar, rotate the alternator until the proper
belt tension is attained, then tighten the mounting
bolts.
