Alternator Installation
Figure 37
(11) Adjusting Alternator Belt Tension.
Loosen bottom mounting bolt and belt adjusting bolt. Adjust alternator belt tension by using a 1
inch open end wrench on adjusting lug of alternator to applying pressure .
Check belt tension for 50 to 70 lbs. span tension. If installing
new
belt, first adjust tension to 90-
100 lbs. span tension. Then, recheck tension within 0:15 minutes of engine operation. If span
tension is less than 50 lbs. adjust tension to 70 lbs.
After tension is set and upper bolt safetied, tighten lower mounting bolt 450 to 500 lb.-in. There
should be no end play in alternator mount. Add thin washers between alternator and mount to
remove end play.
D. Battery Service
(1) The battery is located under the floor of the forward baggage compartment. It is enclosed in a box
with a vent system and a drain. The vents allow fresh air to enter the box and draw off fumes that
may accumulate due to the charging process of the battery. The drain is capped off from the bottom
of the fuselage and should be opened occasionally to drain any accumulation of liquid or during
cleaning of the box. The battery should be checked for fluid level, but must not be filled above the
baffle plates. A hydrometer check should be performed to determine the percent of charge in the
battery. All connections must be clean and tight. If the battery is not up to normal charge, recharge
starting with a charging rate of four amperes and finishing with two. A fast charge is not recommended.
Access to the battery is through the external access panel on the right side of the fuselage.
