Checking the auxiliaries belt and belt tensioner

Check the tension of the auxiliaries belt. The belt tensioner must adjust the belt tension so that the belt does not slip on the generator pulley.

Check that the auxiliaries belt lies in the groove and runs in line with the pulleys.

Check the auxiliaries belt. Check for wear. An oily or damaged belt must be replaced.

Remedy as necessary.
