C. Tighten the rear nut to move the cable backward
until the brake pedals have 13 to 25 mm (1/2 to 1
inch) of free travel.
D. Tighten the front nuts after the brakes are adjusted
correctly.
E. Install the brake-adjustment cover.
Belt Maintenance
Servicing the Alternator Belt
Service Interval: After the first 10 hours
Every 100 hours
Proper tension allows 10 mm (3/8 inch) of deflection when
a force of 44 N∙m (10 ft-lb) is applied on the belt midway
between the pulleys.
If the deflection is not 10 mm (3/8 inch), loosen the
alternator-mounting bolts
Note: Increase or decrease the alternator-belt tension and
tighten the bolts. Check the deflection of the belt again to
ensure that the tension is correct.

Belts
Service Interval: After the first 10 hours
Every 50 hours
When properly tensioned, the inside measurement of the
extension spring (hook to hook) should be approximately
8.3 to 9.5 cm (3-1/4 to 3-3/4 inches). Once the correct
spring tension is attained, adjust the stop bolt (carriage bolt)
until there is approximately 2 to 5 mm (0.065 to 0.185 inch)
clearance between the head of the bolt and the idler arm
(Figure
69).
Note: Ensure that the belt is positioned on the spring side
of the belt guide
(Figure
