1. INSPECT FAN AND GENERATOR V BELT
a. Visually check the drive belt for excessive wear, frayed cords, etc. If any defect is found, replace the drive belt.
HINT: Cracks on the rib side of a drive belt are considered acceptable. If the drive belt has chunks missing from the ribs, it should be
replaced.

out of the grooves on the bottom of the crank pulley.
