Remove the belt guard.
Visually check the tension of the belt between the first 20 to 40 hours of engine operation.
After the initial check, the belt tension should be checked at Every 200 Service Hours or 1 Year.
To maximize the engine performance, inspect the belts for wear and for cracking. Replace belts that are worn or damaged. Refer to the Disassembly and Assembly Manual, "Alternator - Remove and Install" for the procedure for replacing the belt.
If new belts are installed, check the belt tension again after 30 minutes of engine operation at the rated rpm.
Inspect the belt tensioner for unusual noise, excessive looseness and/or shaking of the bearings.
Install the belt guard.
