ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS: PEDAL-START
GAS VEHICLE
7.1. Tighten nut on belt tension tool 1/2 turn and check belt tension with gauge (Figure 20-15, Page 20-13).
NOTE: To prevent errors in measurement caused by residual tension, ensure to loosen, then reapply, the Universal
Belt Tension gauge between measurements.
7.2. Continue to tighten in 1/2 turn increments until proper belt tension is achieved.
– Proper tension for a used starter/generator belt is 75 to 85 lbf (334 to 378 N).
– Proper tension for a new starter/generator belt is 120 to 130 lbf (534 to 578 N).
8. Seat the belt.
8.1. Remove all other tools.
8.2. The belt tension tool can be temporarily left in place.
8.3. Connect battery only. DO NOT CONNECT SPARK PLUG WIRE. See Connecting the Battery-Gasoline
Vehicles on page 1-5. See following WARNING.
WARNING
• Remove pry bar before starting engine.
• Ensure clearance between F2 terminal and starter/generator bracket before starting engine.
8.4. Engage starter and crank engine a minimum of 5 seconds and a maximum of 15 seconds to fully seat
the belt into pulleys and help eliminate any slack.
9. Repeat step 7.
10. Maintain tension and tighten adjustment nut (4) to 15 to 18 ft·lb (20 to 24.5 N·m). Tighten hex nuts (7) to 20 to
25 ft·lb (27 to 34 N·m) (Figure 20-13, Page 20-12).
11. Remove belt tension tool.
12. Confirm proper belt tension with a final measurement.
13. Connect spark plug wire.
VOLTAGE REGULATOR
See General Warnings on page 1-1.
TESTING THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR
See Test Procedure 13 – Voltage Regulator on page 18-32.
VOLTAGE REGULATOR REMOVAL
1. Disconnect battery and spark plug wire(s). See Disconnecting the Battery-Gasoline Vehicles on page 1-5.
2. Remove the electrical component box cover.
3. Disconnect the voltage regulator red wire (1) at the large post on the solenoid, the yellow wire (4) at the bullet
connector, and the black wire (7) from the (NO) terminal of the kill limit switch and at the battery frame ground
(Figure 20-18, Page 20-16).
4. Remove the voltage regulator mounting screw (8) and remove the voltage regulator (9).
