10.2 BELT ADJUSTMENT _______________________________________________________
Inspect and adjust a new belt after the first ten hours of operation. Check the
belt every 100 hours after the first 10 hours.

If the belt tension is not correct, loosen the alternator mounting bolts and
adjust the alternator until the correct belt tension is set. Tighten the alternator
mounting bolts.
