Belt Maintenance
Checking the Alternator Belt
Service Interval: Every 100 hours
Check the condition and tension of the belts
every 100 operating hours.
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
decrease the alternator belt tension and tighten the
bolts. Check the deflection of the belt again to ensure
that the tension is correct.
