Check and setting alternator standard belt tension

  Danger

For safety precautions see Chap. 3.

 

5.9.1 Check

  1. Check the belt condition A if worn out or deteriorated, replace it.
  2. Check that at point p the tension value is between 70 and 75 Hz for V-belt of 9 mm and 80 and 85 Hz for V-belt of 17 mm (H).

 

 
Using the tool (DENSO BTG-2) shown in the picture (or a similar one) it is possible to check the corresponding value in Newton, (which should be) included between 200 and 230 N for V-belt of 9 mm and 350 and 450 N for V-belt of 17 mm (H).

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 A must show a movement of less than 10 mm.
If not adjust it.

5.9.2    Adjustment

  1. Loosen the fastening bolts B and C.
  2. Pull the alternator outwards (in direction of the arrow D), to tension the belt.
  3. Tension the belt tightening the bolts B and C.
  4. 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.
  5. Check that at point p the tension value is between 70 and 75 Hz for V-belt of 9 mm and 80 and 85 Hz for V-belt of 17 mm (Fig. 5.10) (H).

Using the tool (DENSO BTG-2) shown in the picture (or a similar one) it is possible to check the corresponding value in Newton, (which should be) included between 200 and 230 N for V-belt of 9 mm and 350 and 450 N for V-belt of 17 mm (H).

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 A must show a movement of less than 10 mm.

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.
