It -Alternator Belt Inspection and Adiustment
Deflection Method:
Apply a force of 98 N (10 kgl,22lbll, and measure the
deflection between the alternator and the crankshaft pul-
ley.
Detlection | 8.0 - 10.5 mm (0.31 - 0.41 in)
NOTE: On a brand-new belt {one that has been run for less
than five minutes). the deflection should be 6.0 - 8.5 mm
(0.26 - 0.33 in) when first measured. If the belt is worn or
damaged, replace it.

lf adiustm€nt is necossary:
1. Loosen the lower mounting nut and the upper mount-
ing bolt.
2, Move the alternator to obtain the proper belt tension,
then retighten the upper mounting bolt and the lower
mounting nut to the specified torques.
3. Recheckthe deflection ofthe belt.

Belt T€nsion Gauge Method:
Following the gauge manufacturer's instructions. attach
the soecial tool to the belt, and measure the tension.
Tension 340 - 490 N (35 - 50 kgf,77 - 110lbf)
NOTE: On a brand-new belt {one that has been run for less
than five minutes), the tension should be 540 -740 N
(55 - 75 kgf, 121 - 165 lbf) when first measured. lf the belt
is worn or damaged, replace it.
