Fan and Alternator Belts
Inspect/Adjust/Replace
1. Open the access door on the right rear side of the machine. Replace the belts in sets only if one or more belts are worn or damaged.2. Inspect the condition and the adjustment of alternator belts. The belts should deflect 14 to 20 mm (.6 to .8 in) under 110 N (25 lb) force.Alternator Belt Adjustment
1. Loosen the alternator bracket bolt (1). Loosen the adjusting bolt (2).2. Adjust the belts until the belt tension is reached. Tighten the adjusting bolt (2) to 150 20 N m (110 15 lb ft). 3. Tighten the alternator bracket bolt (1).4. Close the access cover.Air Conditioner (If Equipped)
Test
Inhaling air conditioner refrigerant gas through a lit cigarette or other smoking method or inhaling fumes released from a flame contacting air conditioner refrigerant gas can cause bodily harm or death. Do not smoke when servicing air conditioners or wherever refrigerant gas may be present.
Test Operation - Adjust Belt
1. Start the engine. Operate the engine at high idle. 2. Set the air conditioner control for maximum cooling, and fan control on HIGH.3. Allow two minutes for the air conditioning system to stabilize. 4. Open the access door on the right side of the machine. 5. Check for refrigerant in the system as follows:* Feel the suction line (1) and the discharge line* If the system contains refrigerant, the discharge line will be warmer than the suction line.* If the system does not contain, or is very low on refrigerant, poor cooling will result.6. Stop the engine to inspect the compressor belt. 7. Inspect the condition and the adjustment of the compressor belt. The belt should deflect 14 to 20 mm (.6 to .8 in) under 110 N (25 lb) force.8. Close the access door.To Adjust
1. Open the access door on the right side of the machine. 2. Loosen the compressor lock bolt and mounting bolt. 3. Pull the air conditioner compressor back. Tighten the mounting bolt and compressor lock bolt. 4. Recheck the belt adjustment.5. Repeat Steps 1 through 3.6. Close the access door.7.
