GENERATOR DRIVE BELT INSPECTION
INSPECT DRIVE BELTS
(a) Visually check the belt for excessive wear, frayed
cords etc.
If necessary, replace the drive belt.
HINT: Cranks on the rib side of a belt are considered
acceptable. If the belt has chunks missing from the
ribs, it should be replaced.
(b) Using a belt tension gauge, measure the belt tension.
Belt tension gauge:
BTG–20 (95506–00020) for nippondenso
No. BT–33–73F for borroughs
Drive belt tension:
New belt
160 ±20 lbf
Used belt
100 ±20 lbf
If necessary, adjust the belt tension.
HINT:
• ”New belt” refers to a belt which has been used
less than 5 minutes on a running engine.
• ”Used belt” refers to a belt which has been used
on a running engine for 5 minutes or more.
• After installing the belt, check that it fits properly
in the ribbed grooves.
• Check by hand to confirm that the belt has not
slipped out of the groove on the bottom of the
pulley.
• After installing a new belt, run the engine for
about 5 minutes and recheck the belt tension.
