Adjustment 4
1. Loosen bolts and nuts (2) and (3).
2. Loosen locknut (4) and move alternator (1) with adjustment
bolt (5) so that the deflection of the belt is 6 to 10 mm
when pressed with a finger force of approx. 58.8 N (6 kgf).
3. Tighten locknut (4) and bolts and nuts (2) and (3) to hold
alternator (1) in position.
4. Check for damage to the pulleys, and wear of the V-groove and V-belt. Be particularly careful to check that the
V-belt is not in contact with the bottom of the V-groove.

the belt.
