Alternator belt
I DANGER
Stop the engine and remove the
key before servicing the alterna-
tor belt.
Always keep a replacement belt
on-board.
The alternator belt drives both the
coolant pump and the alternator.
Additional belt can also be fitted.
A loosen or damaged belt can
result in overheats or insufficient
alternator charging. A belt that is
too tight can damage the bearings
in the pump and the alternator.
Visually check the belt for exces-
sive wear, frayed cords, etc. If any
defect has been found, change the
belt. Check that it fits properly in
the pulley.
Also check its tension. The deflec-
tion must be of between 8 to 10
mm when pressing the belt with the
hand between two pulley when the
belt is warm.
To adjust the belt tension:
1. Stop the engine and remove
the key from the panel.
2. Loosen the alternator mounting
bolt
and pull the alternator out
until to adjust the deflection of the
belt.
3. Tighten the alternator mounting
bolt.
4. Check the tension after few
hours of operation.
