FIG. 5-23: Correct fan belt tension helps to insure ad-
equate coolant flow through cylinder block and radia-
tor. Belt is correctly tensioned when belt deflection is
approximately 13mm when thumb pressure is exerted
at center of belt span.
CAUTION: Due to muffler position, allow
to cool before checking or adjusting fan
belt tension.
FIG. 5-24: To adjust belt tension, loosen alternator
pivot bolt, 1, and tensioning bracket bolt, 2. Pull out-
ward on top of alternator to correctly tension belt and
tighten bolt, 2, first and then tighten pivot bolt, 1.
IMPORTANT: Do not pry against alternator housing
or pulley. Carefully pry against alterna-
tor mounting flange to prevent dam-
age.
