cracking or wear. A maximum deflection of 1/2" (13 mm)
is acceptable
Adjusting The Belt
Loosen the starter/generator pivot bolt.
While holding the lower adjusting nut with a w rench,
loosen the upper jam nut with another wrench. Move the
lower nut up or down the adjustment bolt until proper belt
tension is achieved. Hold the lower nut in place and
tighten the upper jam nut against it (Ref Fig. 30 on page
20).
Tighten the starter/generator pivot bolt.
BATTERY CLEANING
To reduce the possibility of damage to vehicle or floor,
neutralize acid before rinsing battery.
To reduce the possibility of damage to electrical compo-
nents while cleaning, do not use a pressure washer.
Cleaning should take place per the Pe riodic Service
Schedule (Ref. Periodic Service Schedule on page 15).
When cleaning the outside of the battery and terminals,
first spray with a solution of sodium bicarbonate (baking
soda) and water to n eutralize any acid deposits before
rinsing with clear water.
Use of a wa ter hose without first neutralizing any acid,
will move acid from the top of the battery to another area
of the v ehicle or storage fa cility where it will att ack the
metal structure or the concrete/asphalt floor. Additionally,
a residue will be left on the battery which is conductive
and will contribute to the discharge of the battery.
To reduce the possibility of battery explosion
that could result in severe injury or death, do
not use metallic spray wand to clean battery
and keep all smoking materials, open flame or
sparks away from the battery.
The correct cleaning technique is to spray the top an d
sides of the battery with a solution of sodium bicarbonate
(baking soda) and water. This solution is best applied
with a garden type sprayer equipped with a non metallic
spray wand or a plastic spray bottle . The solut ion
should consist of the amounts of sodium bicarbonate
(baking soda) and clear water shown below (Ref Fig. 31
on page 21). In addition to the battery, special attention
should be paid to metal components adjacent to the bat-
tery which should also be sprayed with the sodium bicar-
bonate (baking soda) solution.
Allow the solution to sit for at least three minutes; use a
soft bristle brush or cloth to wipe the tops of the battery to
remove any residue that could contribute to the self dis-
charge of the battery. Rinse the entire area with low pres-
sure clear water. Do not use a pressure washer.
