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 the battery cables as instructed. See WARNING "To avoid unintentionally starting..." in
General Warning on page 1-2.
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 13-10).
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
stores), or equivalent. Proper tension for a new starter/generator belt should be 75 ft-lb (101.7 N·m), or
45 ft-lb (61 N·m) for an existing belt (Figure 13-14, Page 13-10).
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 13-10). See following CAU-
TION.
