OPERATION 4

Check the Engine Water Pump Drive Belt Tension (2360 and 2425 Only)

Use a belt tension gauge to check and/or adjust belts, or use firm thumb pressure and measure the deflection method. With firm thumb pressure, a properly adjusted belt should deflect 0.8 mm (1/32″) for each 25 mm (1”) of span between pulleys. If the belt requires adjustment, use the following procedure:

Loosen the locknut, 1, which secures the idler pulley to the water pump. Turn the adjusting screw, 2, to adjust the belt tension. Tighten the idler pulley locknut. Recheck the belt tension. Secure the idler pulley in position by tightening the locknut to 70 N⋅m (50 ft. lbs.). Loosen the adjusting screw 1/2 turn to prevent breakage.

NOTE: The water pump drive belt is supplied by Buhler Versatile. Contact your Buhler Versatile dealer if a new belt is required.

NOTE: Refer to your Cummins Engine Manual for more information regarding belt replacement, wear guidelines, and pulley alignment.
