7.1. Tighten nut on belt tension tool 1/2 turn and check belt tension with gauge (Figure 19-15, Page 19-13) .
NOTE: To prevent errors in measurement caused by residual tension, ensure to loosen, then reapply, the Universal
Belt Tension gauge between measurements.
7.2. Continue to tighten in 1/2 turn increments until proper belt tension is achieved.
– Proper tension for a used starter/generator belt is 75 to 85 lbf (334 to 378 N).
– Proper tension for a new starter/generator belt is 120 to 130 lbf (534 to 578 N).
8. Seat the belt.
8.1. Remove all other tools.
8.2. The belt tension tool can be temporarily left in place.
8.3. Connect battery only. DO NOT CONNECT SPARK PLUG WIRE. See Connecting the Battery- Gasoline

10. Maintain tension and tighten adjustment nut (4) to 15 to 18 ft·lb (20 to 24.5 N·m). Tighten hex nuts (7) to 20 to
25 ft·lb (27 to 34 N·m)
(Figure 19-13, Page 19-12) .
