Measure
V-belt tension using Belt Tension Gauge KM-128-A.
Use
halfway point between two V-belt pulleys as test surface if possible.
Place
tester on V-belt in such a way that guides support it.
Press
lever "A" until pin touches V-belt and a humming tone can be heard.
Read
off value on scale of tester and multiply by 100 (10) - this gives the V-belt
tension in N (Kp).
See
Technical Data (at the end of this group) for prescribed V-belt tension.
When
installing new V-belt, pre-tension to prescribed value.
If
tension of V-belt is not within given tolerances, loosen retaining screws on
tensioning bar and lower bracket.
Correct
value and secure alternator to tensioning bar.
Tighten lower alternator
