  4. Correct tension is 535 N (120 lb). If below 250 N (56 lb), adjust to 535 N.
  5. To adjust, loosen alternator pivot bolt and link bolt.
  6. Move alternator to increase or decrease belt tension.
  7. Tighten alternator pivot bolt and link bolt to 22 N·m.
  8. For replacement, refer to Disassembly and Assembly.
Changing to Perkins ELC maintenance
