Drive belts
The belt tension can be checked by depressing the fan belt at a point midway between the generator and
fan pulleys as illustrated. It should be possible to press down the belt about 1/4"-3/8" (5-10 mm). This
also applies to other drive belts on the engine.
If drive belts are replaces, recheck belt tension after driving 600-1,200 miles (1,000-2,000 km).
WARNING!
The engine must NOT be running when belt tension is
checked.
