3. Inspect the drive belt. Look for signs of cracking,
separation, cuts, or other damage. See Figure
5-25.
4. If any abnormality is found, replace the drive belt.

Check drive belt tension:
5. The drive belt tension should be checked at the
midpoint (B) between the pulleys. See Figure
5-26.
• Apply specified pressure to the drive belt at its
midpoint. At the same time, measure the
amount of deflection of the drive belt at its
midpoint. Deflection should be within
specification.
DRIVE-BELT TENSION
Applied Test Pressure
98 N (22 lb.)
Belt Deflection - New
5–7 mm (0.20–0.28 in.)
Belt Deflection - Used
7–8 mm (0.28–0.31 in.)
6. If the amount of deflection is out of specification,
adjust the drive belt tension.
Adjust Drive Belt Tension:
Figure5-27
7. Loosen the two alternator mounting bolts (C). See
Figure 5-27.
8. To increase tension, move the alternator away
from the engine. To decrease tension, move the
alternator toward the engine.
9. Tighten two alternator mounting bolts.
10. Check the drive belt tension. Repeat the
adjustment procedure if necessary until the drive
belt tension is within specification.
