    This engineering technical bulletin provides instructions for checking alternator and water pump belt tension using a belt tension gauge. It states that all manually tensioned belts are to be checked with a specific gauge and tensioned within the listed tolerance ranges. The gauge is hooked below the belt and the ball handle is quickly released to check the tension. If outside the listed ranges, the hardware needs to be loosened, tension adjusted, re-tightened, and rechecked until in tolerance. Acceptable tension ranges are provided for different belt types.

    Alternator / Water Pump Belt Tensioning Procedure  
    Effective immediately, all manually tensioned belts are to be checked with the Burroughs BT‐33‐73F belt 
    tension gauge. After setting initial belt tension and tightening alternator/idler pulley hardware, inspect belt 
    tension. Depress ball handle and insert gauge hook below belt as shown in figure below.  
     

     
    Once the belt is hooked, release the ball handle quickly with a snapping action. Verify belt tension is within 
    tolerance ranges below. If belt tension is outside tolerance range, loosen hardware, adjust tension, tighten 
    hardware and recheck belt tension until within tolerance range.
