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
the proper belt tension is achieved. Hold the lower nut in place and
tighten the upper jam nut against it.
Tighten the starter/generator pivot bolt.
Battery Cleaning
To decrease the risk of damage to vehicle or floor, neutralize acid before you spray the battery with water.
To decrease the risk of damage to the electrical components while cleaning, do not use a pressure washer.
Clean the battery according to the Periodic Service Schedule.
When you clean the battery cases and terminals, do not use a water hose without neutralizing any acid deposits first. The
water hose moves the acid from the top of the battery to another area of the vehicle or storage facility, where it can cause
damage. Conductive residue on the battery will contribute to the discharge of the battery.
The correct cleaning method is to spray the top and sides of the battery with a solution of baking soda and water. Apply
this solution with a plastic spray bottle. The solution is 2 teaspoons (10 ml) sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) mixed with
1 quart (1 liter) of water. Spray the solution on all metal components near the battery also.
Allow the solution to set a minimum of three minutes. Use a soft bristle brush or cloth to clean the top of the battery to
remove residue that can cause the discharge of the battery. Clean the area with low pressure clear water.
Be careful when you use the aerosol containers near battery terminals. Insulate metal containers
to decrease the risk of a short-circuit or explosion if the container is dropped across the battery
terminals.
Clean once a month, or more often in harsh conditions. After the battery is clean and dry, apply a commercially available
protectant to the terminals.
TIRE INSPECTION
Inspect the tire condition according to the Periodic Service Schedule. Tire inflation pressures must be checked when the
tires are cool. Always install the valve dust cap after you check or inflate the tires.
