44 5. MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION
(7) Checking the Tension of the V-Belt of the Alternator
When there is not enough tension in the V-belt, the belt
will slip making it impossible for the alternator to gener-
ate power.
Additionally, the fresh water pump will not work causing
the engine to overheat.
Check the tension of the V-belt in the following manner.
1. Press the V-belt down with your thumb at the middle
of the belt to check the tension.
The give in the V-belt should measure about 8∼10mm
at the depression.
2. To adjust the V-belt tension, loosen the set bolt and
move the alternator.
3. Replace the belt if it is damaged.
Parts No: 25132-004600(A-46)
NOTICE:
• If the V-belt tension is too tight, the belt and the bearings of the alternator will be dam-
aged.
• Be careful not to spill any oil on the V-belt as this will lead to stretching and slippage.
