ADJUSTMENTS
HIGH WATER T.liMPERATURE S'NITCH.- The high water temperature switch oper-
ates to stop the engine if the cool.ant temperature rises too high.
This prevents overheating, which coul.d cause serious damage to the·
engine parts. The engine ~ be started again when the coolant temper-
ature drops approx:i.mately 10 F. The dial adjustment shoul.d be set to
operate at a temperature several degrees below the boiling point of the
coolant, taking into consideration the altitude at' which the plant is
operating. Lower the setting 3
0
F. for each 1000 feet above sea level.
The dial was set at 2050F. at the factory. Do not set the switch to
operate at too low a temperature, or the engine may be stopped before
it reaches normal operating temperat~re. The switch will not operate
if the ign:i.tion switch is at the HAND STAAT POSITION.
FAN BELT TENSION.- The fan belt tension is regulated by the width of
the fan pulley groove. The front half of the pulley turns on the hub.
By loosening the two lock bolts and turning the front half of the
pulley cl.ockwise, the pul.ley groove is narrowed and the belt tightened.
Turn the pulley counterclockwise to widen the pul.ley groove and lessen
the belt tension. Allow 3/4" play in the belt as shown in the illus-
tration, Fig': D. Too tight a belt will have a short life and cause
excessive strain and wear on the water pump bearings. A belt too
loose will slip, wear out rapidly, and will result in inefficient cool-
ing. Be sure that the adjustment lock screws are properly tightened.
Check these screws frequently, even when no adjustment is necessary.
