The starter/generator belt tension should be checked after the first 15 - 20 hours and set to 75 - 80 lbs. (34 - 36 kg).
At no time during installation of belt, should the belt tension exceed 160 lbs (73 kg).
During installation, the belt must not be rolled over the edges of the starter/generator or drive clutch pulleys.
Excessive stretch in belt may cause cord failure.
A loose belt can cause audible vibration and squeal.
Tighten a new starter/generator belt to 110 - 130 lbs. (50 - 59
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 maxi-
mum deflection of 1/2" (13 mm) is acceptable.
