6.12 Belt Drive System
The engine uses a v-belt to drive the water pump, fan and alternator. It is important to
note that the v-belt is an integral part of the cooling and charging system and should
be inspected in accordance with the maintenance schedule.
A second v-belt used to drive a compressor may be fitted if the truck has air
conditioning. Check the air conditioning v-belt in the same fashion as the main v-belt.
Open the bonnet from the rear of the truck to gain access to the belt drive system on
the engine.
Checking the Belt Drive:
Check the entire belt drive (i.e. the belt(s) associated pulleys, bearings etc.)
visually for signs of damage and wear and replace any damaged parts.
Check the tension on the belt.
Tension loose belts and replace belts showing signs of damage or wear.
Do Not over tension the belt(s) as this will shorten the life of pulleys and
bearings.
When inspecting the belt check for:
Cracks
Chunking of the belt
Splits
Material hanging loose from the belt
Glazing, hardening
If any of these conditions exist the belt should be replaced with a genuine OEM belt.
Caution
Switch off the engine and remove the key from the ignition before working
on the belt drives.
When work on the belt drives has been completed, check that all guards
have been replaced and that all tools have been removed from the engine.
