Typical Example
Put the alternator (2) in position on the engine.
Install the nut and the setscrew (1). Tighten the nut finger tight.
Install the clamp screw (8) through the adjustment bracket and into the alternator. Do not tighten the clamp screw (8) at this time.
Install the V-belts on the alternator pulley. Adjust the tension on the V-belts by moving the alternator (2) away from the engine. Tighten the clamp screw (8) after the correct tension is made. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "V-Belt - Test" for the correct tension of the V-belts. Note: If the V-belt cannot be checked with a gauge, press on the V-belt at the center of the longest free length in order to check the deflection. Under a moderate amount of pressure, the V-belt should have a deflection of 10 mm (0.40 inch).
Tighten the nut and the setscrew (1).
Connect the harness assemblies (4), (6), and (7) to the alternator.
Connect the ground harness assembly (5) to the alternator.
