Caterpillar Lift Truck GP40K

CAUTION! After stopping the engine, check and adjust the rotating part. After adjusting the belt, tighten the bracket bolt securely. If the belt is too tight, unnecessary stresses are placed on the alternator bearing and belt. Such stresses will shorten the service life of both. Keep the belt free of oil and grease to reduce the risk of slipping. NOTICE: If it is difficult to adjust or replace the belts, consult your Cat lift truck dealer.

Park the lift truck on a level surface, with the forks lowered, the parking brake applied, the transmission in NEUTRAL, engine stopped and the wheels blocked.

Push the belt downward with about 98 N (10 kgf) [22 lbf] pressure midway between the pulleys as shown.

NOTICE: If the deflection is out of the correct range, readjust the belt. Also, check the belt to make sure that it is not worn, frayed, or has separated piles.

Loosen the alternator bracket bolts (indicated by the black arrows), and move the alternator out or in.
