Disconnect
The battery cables or the batteries should not be
removed with the battery cover in place. The bat-
tery cover should be removed before any servic-
ing is attempted.
Removing the battery cables or the batteries with
the cover in place may cause a battery explosion
resulting in personal injury.
1.
Turn the start switch to the OFF position. Turn the
ignition switch (if equipped) to the OFF position
and remove the key and all electrical loads.
2.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal. Ensure
that the cable cannot contact the terminal. When
four 12 volt batteries are involved, two negative
connection must be disconnected.
3.
Remove the positive connection.
4.
Clean all disconnected connection and battery
terminals.
5.
Use a fine grade of sandpaper to clean the
terminals and the cable clamps. Clean the items
until the surfaces are bright or shiny. DO NOT
remove material excessively. Excessive removal
of material can cause the clamps to not fit
correctly. Coat the clamps and the terminals with a
suitable silicone lubricant or petroleum jelly.
6.
Tape the cable connections in order to help
prevent accidental starting.
7.
Proceed with necessary system repairs.
8.
In order to connect the battery, connect the
positive connection before the negative connector.

Belts
-
Inspect/Adjust
Inspection
To
maximize
the
engine
performance,
inspect
the
belt
for
wear
and
for
cracking.
Replace
a
belt
that
is
worn
or
damaged.
If the belt is too loose, vibration causes unnecessary
wear on the belt and pulleys. A loose belt may slip
enough to cause overheating.
The correct tension for a new belt is 400 N (90 lb) to
489 N (110 lb). The correct tension for a used belt
that has been in operation for 30 minutes or more at
the rated speed is 267 N (60 lb) to 356 N (80 lb).
The belt tension should be checked at the center
point of the belt between the pulleys.

3.
Move the alternator (2) in order to adjust the belt
(4) to the required tension.
4.
Tighten bolt (1) and bolt (3) to a torque of 22 N·m
(194 lb in). Tighten nut and bolt (4) to a torque of
22 N·m (194 lb in).
