DEFLECTION METHOD:

Checking Belt Deflection:

1. Apply a force of 100 N (10 kg, 22 lbs) and measure the deflection between the alternator and crank- shaft pulley.

Deflection: 10 - 12 mm (0.39 - 0.47 in)

NOTE: On a brand-new belt, the deflection should be 8.5 - 11 mm (0.33 - 0.43 in) when first measured.

2. Loosen the through bolt and adjustment locknut.
3. Turn the adjusting bolt to obtain the proper belt tension, then retighten the nut and mounting bolt.
4. Recheck the belt deflection.

TENSION GAUGE METHOD:

Belt Tension Checking - Gauge Method:

1. Attach the belt tension gauge to the belt and measure the tension.

Tension: 300 - 450 N (30 - 45 kg, 66 - 99 lbs)

NOTE: On a brand-new belt, the tension should be 450 - 650 N (45 - 65 kg, 99 - 143 lbs) when first measured.

2. Loosen the through bolt and adjustment locknut.
3. Turn the adjusting bolt to obtain the proper belt tension, then retighten the nut and mounting bolt.
4. Recheck the tension of the belt.
