Warning
- For safety precautions see Chap. 3.
5.9.1 Check
- Check the belt A condition, if worn out or deteriorated, replace it.
- Check by the appropriate tool that at point p the tension value is between 80 and 85 Hz.
Using the tool F (DENSO BTG-2 or a similar one) shown in the picture, it is possible to check the corresponding value in Newtons, which should be between 350 and 450 N.
Should the correct tool not be available, the belt tension can be checked by applying a force in the direction of arrow G of approx' 10kg on the point p. When correctly tensioned the belt must show a movement of less than 10 mm. If not adjust it.
5.9.2 Adjustment
- Loosen the fastening bolts B e C.
- Pull the alternator outwards (in direction of the arrow D), to tension the belt.
- Tension the belt tightening the bolts B e C.
- Tighten bolts B (tightening torque of 25 Nm) and C (tightening torque at 69 Nm [thread M10] - 40 Nm [thread M8]) in sequence with a torque wrench E.
- Check by the appropriate tool that at point p the tension value is between 80 and 85 Hz.
Using the tool F (DENSO BTG-2 or a similar one) shown in the picture, it is possible to check the corresponding value in Newtons, which should be between 350 and N.450.
Should the correct tool not be available, the belt tension can be checked by applying a force in the direction of arrow G of approx' 10kg on the point p. When correctly tensioned the belt must show a movement of less than 10mm. Let the engine run for some minutes, then let it cool down at ambient temperature and repeat the operations 2, 3, 4 and 5 in case the belt tension results out of the above mentioned values.
NOTE: Contact KOHLER authorised workshops for replacement.
