Starter/Generator Installation
BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT
Belt tension should be checked periodically. If the belt slips when starter/generator motor operates, adjust belt
to correct tension.
1.
Disconnect battery and spark plug wire(s).
See Disconnecting the Battery – Gasoline Vehicles on page 1-3.
2.
Remove the access panel on the vehicle.
3.
Make sure the two pivot bolts (5) on the mounting bracket are finger tight. The carriage bolt (11) and hex nut (12)
are to be finger tight also
.
4.
Push the starter/generator down so it is at the lowest point of its adjustment travel. With the starter/generator belt
in place around the drive clutch pulley, install the starter/generator belt (3) around the pulley (10) on the end
of the starter/generator.
5.
Position a pry bar (13) between the top of the starter/generator mounting bracket (2) and the underside of the
starter/generator by passing the pry bar under the exhaust header.
6.
While holding the pry bar, measure the belt tension using a Krikit
®
gauge (1) (available at NAPA
®
Auto Parts
stores), or equivalent. Proper tension for a new starter/generator belt should be 120 pound-force (lbf) (54.4
kilogram-force (kgf)) or 70 lbf (31.8 kgf) for an existing belt
7.
While maintaining the tension, tighten the adjustment nut (12) to 144 in·lb (16.3 N·m). Tighten the two pivot bolts
(5) and hex nuts (7) to 23 ft·lb (31.2 N·m)
See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Remove pry bar before starting engine.
8.
Connect battery and spark plug wire(s).
See Connecting the Battery – Gasoline Vehicles on page 1-4.
