BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT

Belt tension should be checked periodically. If the belt slips when starter/generator motor operates, adjust belt
to correct tension.
1. Turn the key switch is OFF and remove the key. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position.
Chock the wheels.
2. Disconnect battery and spark plug wire(s). See Disconnecting the Battery – Gasoline Vehicles, Section
1, Page 1-3.
3. Make sure the two pivot bolts (5) on the mounting bracket, carriage bolt (11) and hex nut (12) are finger-tight
(Figure 13-13, Page 13-11).
4. Push the starter/generator down to its lowest point of adjustment travel. With the starter/generator belt in place
around the drive clutch pulley, install the starter/generator belt (3).
5. Place 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. Hold the pry bar and measure the belt tension using a Krikit
or equivalent. Proper tension for a new starter/generator belt should be 75 lb (101.7 N), or 45 lb (61 N) for an
existing belt (Figure 13-14, Page 13-11).
7. While maintaining the tension, tighten the adjustment nut (12) to 144 in-lb (16.3 N·m). Tighten the two pivot bolts
(5) and hex nuts (7) to 23 ft-lb (31.2 N·m) (Figure 13-13, Page 13-11). See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Remove pry bar before starting engine.
8. Connect battery and spark plug wire(s). See Connecting the Battery – Gasoline Vehicles, Section 1, Page 1-3.
