1. Proper tension will allow 10 mm (3/8 inch)
deflection when a force of 44 N (10 lb.) is
applied on the belt midway between the pulleys.
2. If the deflection is not 10 mm (3/8 inch), loosen
the alternator mounting bolts
Increase or decrease the alternator belt tension
and tighten the bolts. Check the deflection of the
belt again to ensure that the tension is correct.
