cracking or wear. A maximum deflection of 1/2" (13 mm)

is acceptable

Adjusting The Belt

Loosen the starter/generator pivot bolt.

While holding the lower adjusting nut with a wrench,

loosen the upper jam nut with another wrench. Move the

lower nut up or down the adjustment bolt until proper

belt tension is achieved. Hold the lower nut in place and

tighten the upper jam nut against it (Ref. Fig. 43 on page

26).

Tighten the starter/generator pivot bolt.

BATTERY CLEANING

To reduce the possibility of damage to vehicle or floor,

neutralize acid before rinsing battery.

To reduce the possibility of damage to electrical com-

ponents while cleaning, do not use a pressure washer.

Cleaning should take place per the Periodic Service

Schedule (Ref. Periodic Service Schedule on Page 21).

When cleaning the outside of the battery and terminals,

first spray with a solution of sodium bicarbonate (baking

soda) and water to neutralize any acid deposits before

rinsing with clear water.

Use of a water hose without first neutralizing any acid,

will move acid from the top of the battery to another area

of the vehicle or storage facility where it will attack the

metal structure or the concrete/asphalt floor. Addition-

ally, a residue will be left on the battery which is conduc-

tive and will contribute to the discharge of the battery.

To reduce the possibility of battery explosion that could

result in severe injury or death, do not use metallic

spray wand to clean battery and keep all smoking

materials, open flame or sparks away from the battery.

The correct cleaning technique is to spray the top and

sides of the battery with a solution of sodium bicarbon-

ate (baking soda) and water. This solution is best

applied with a garden type sprayer equipped with a non

metallic spray wand or a plastic spray bottle. The

solution should consist of the amounts of sodium bicar-

bonate (baking soda) and clear water shown below (Ref.

Fig. 44 on page 27). In addition to the battery, special

attention should be paid to metal components adjacent

to the battery which should also be sprayed with the

sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) solution.

Allow the solution to sit for at least three minutes; use a

soft bristle brush or cloth to wipe the tops of the battery

to remove any residue that could contribute to the self

discharge of the battery. Rinse the entire area with low

pressure clear water. Do not use a pressure washer.
