8.2.3.2 Checking 12-Rib Poly-vee Belt-Driven 50 DN Alternator Belt Tension
The recommended tension for new poly-vee belt is 1558 N (350 lb). However, because
a new belt loses tension rapidly during the first few minutes of operation, it is important
to check the tension after running the engine for 10 to 15 minutes. To check belt
tension, use the following procedure:
NOTICE:
Failure to properly orient the drive belt when installing it over the
pulleys may result in belt damage at engine start up.
1. Tension the new drive belt to 1558 N (350 lb) using Kent Moore belt tension
gage J 41251-B or equivalent. Refer to section 13.8.8 for belt tension gage
usage procedure.
2. Start and run the engine for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the belt to warm up and
seat in the pulley grooves.
3. Stop the engine, and allow it to cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Measure belt tension:
[a] If tension is 1115 N (250 lb) or more, no further tension is required.
[b] If tension is less than 1115 N (250 lb), adjust belt tension to 1115 N (250 lb).
5. Check belt tension every month, every 100 hours, or every 12,000 km (7500
miles). Refer to section 13.8.8 and re-tension to 1115 N (250 lb), if necessary.
