D. Starter/Generator Installation
1. Re-install the starter/generator. Install the pivot bolt and hardware loosely in place and install the belt.
2. Tighten a new starter/generator belt to 90 - 110 lbs. (41 - 50 kg) tension when a gauge is applied half
way between the two pulleys. See figure 4. Re-tighten an existing belt to 75 - 80 lbs. (34 - 36 kg) ten
-
sion using the same technique. A maximum deflection of 1/2" (13 mm) is acceptable. See Figure 5.
3. Although not as accurate, a new belt may be depressed with a finger. A maximum deflection of 3/8"
(10 mm) is acceptable. See figure 5.
4. While holding the lower adjusting nut with a 9/16" wrench, loosen the upper jam nut with another 9/16"
wrench. Move the lower nut up or down the adjustment bolt until proper belt tension is achieved. Hold
the lower nut in place and tighten the upper jam nut against it securely. See figure 6.
5. Tighten starter/generator pivot bolt to 44 - 46 ft. lbs. (60 - 62 Nm).
