Use the hexagon-shaped part indicated by the arrow in the illustration to move the tensioner pulley downward, and then install the fan and generator V belt to the tensioner pulley.

NOTICE:

1. The backside of the fan and generator V belt should face the tensioner pulley.
   
2. Check that the fan and generator V belt is properly installed to each pulley.
   

Check the belt for wear, cracks or other signs of damage.
If any of the following defects is found, replace the fan and generator V belt.
