Periodic Maintenance Procedures
Check and adjust the V-belt tension (deflection) as
follows:
1. Press the V-belt down with your thumb with a
force of approximately 22 ft·lb (98 N·m,
10 kgf·m) to check the deflection.
There are three positions to check for V-belt
tension (Figure 5-4, (A), (B) and (C)). You can
check the tension at whichever position is the
most accessible. The proper deflection of a used
V-belt at each position is:

2. If necessary, adjust the V-belt tension. Loosen
the adjusting bolt (Figure 5-5, (1)) and move
the alternator (Figure 5-5, (2)) with a pry bar
(Figure 5-5, (3)) to tighten the V-belt to the
desired tension. Then tighten the adjusting bolt.
