The starter/generator belt tension should be checked after the first 15 - 20 hours and set to 75 - 80 lbs. (34 - 36 kg)
A loose belt can cause audible vibration and squeal.
Tighten a
new
starter/generator belt to 115 - 125 lbs. (52 - 57 kg) tension when a gauge is applied half way between
the two pulleys.
A
new
belt may be checked manually. A maximum deflection of 3/8" (10 mm) is acceptable. Tighten an
existing
belt
to 75 - 80 lbs. (34 - 36 kg) tension using the same technique and inspect for 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 wrench, 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.
