Drive Belts - Volvo Penta PENTA Launch Manual

DRIVE BELTS

Check on the generator belt and the fresh water
pump drive belt a few times a year to make sure
that they are properly tensioned. Make sure that
they are not cracked or frayed. A perfect drive belt
gives a better generator charging effect while, at the
same time, reducing the risk of overheating. Always
keep spare belts on board. Genuine Volvo Penta
drive belts last much longer.
Check the condition of the belts.
Replace them if necessary.
After replacement – tighten the belts
and adjust the tension.
N.B.
after a few hours running. Readjust, if necessary,
according to the Operator's Manual.
Check the belt tension once more
