ROUTINE MAINTENANCE - ALTERNATOR GENERAL Keep the Alternator reasonably clean and ensure that ventilation slot or air space are clear and unobstructed check mounting bolts for tightness. BELT 1.
Ensure that the driving belt on the Alternator is in good condition and is neither too slack nor too tight.
2.
If necessary the fan belt tension should be adjusted to obtain approximately ½”-¾” deflection of belt when pressed at midway of the longest point between pulleys.
NOTE:
A slack belt will rapidly wear and because of slip may not drive the Alternator for the required speed. Too tight a belt will impose severe side thrust on the bearings and seriously shorten their life.
