Belt Maintenance
Servicing the Alternator
Belt
Service Interval: After the first 8 hours
Every 100 hours
Check the condition and tension of the
alternator/cooling fan belt. Replace the belt
as necessary.
1.
Position the sprayer on a level surface, engage
the parking brake, shut off the spray pump, shut
off the engine, and remove the key.
2.
Check the alternator-belt tension by depressing
the belt midway between the alternator and the
crankshaft pulleys with 10 kg (22 lb) of force.
Note:
The belt should deflect 10 to 12 mm
(0.39 to 0.47 inches). If the belt deflection is too
much, go to step 3. If the belt tension is correct,
you may skip the remainder of this procedure
and resume operating the sprayer.
3.
Loosen the bolt at the pivot point of the
alternator; loosen the bolt that secures the
alternator to the slotted brace
