BELT TENSION
Serpentine drive belt uses an automatic belt tensioner. No adjustment is necessary, but belt must be properly installed. For belt routing (Scheme 5)
Scheme 5
BRUSHES
- Brushes should slide smoothly in holders. Replace brushes if damaged or worn. See «GENERATOR SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-167874-S27917160352004102500000) .
- If exposed brush length is less than minimum, replace brushes and brush holder assembly. Install new brush springs when replacing brushes.

ROTOR
- Check rotor for open field windings by using an ohmmeter across slip rings. Rotor resistance should be within specification. See «GENERATOR SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-167874-S27917160352004102500000) .
- Check rotor for shorts to ground by connecting ohmmeter between slip ring and rotor shaft. Ohmmeter should indicate no continuity. Check slip rings for wear or pitting. See «GENERATOR SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-167874-S27917160352004102500000) . If slip rings are shorted to rotor shaft, rough or scored, replace rotor.
