Fan-belt being loose or overly tightened may become a reason to overheat the engine and damage the alternator. Therefore, it is necessary to have the fan-belt tightened to proper tension. To check the tension, pressing the longer portion of the belt (between the alternator and crankshaft pulley as shown in the picture) with a force of approximately 10 pounds should loosen the belt 10mm or ? of an inch. In case of improper tension in the belt, loosen the alternator and adjusting link nuts, and by pressing the alternator with the help of a lever, tighten the bolts after adjusting the belt’s tension. Check the tension again after tightening the bolts. |

Very Important Always use belts of correct size. Do not use any kind of oil or grease to mount the belt. |
