- Even if there is a little wear, damage, or cracking, replace the generator drive belt. (See DRIVE BELT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
- Verify that the indicator part of the cast hexagon on the drive belt auto tensioner is within the normal range.
- If it exceeds the limit, replace the generator drive belt. (See DRIVE BELT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
