11. Adjust screw (Figure 3, Item 6) on adjusting arm clockwise to tighten V-belt (Figure 3, Item 5) tension.
12. Keep tension on alternator (Figure 3, Item 4), tighten alternator self-locking nut (Figure 3, Item 1), lower mount
bolt (Figure 3, Item 2) and V-belt tension adjustment bolt (Figure 3, Item 3) (WP 0091, Introduction).
NOTE
When checking V-belt tension using the V-belt tension gauge, place the tension
gauge as close to midpoint as possible between pulleys.
Proper tension for a V-belt is considered to be the lowest allowable tension in which
the belt will not slip during peak load conditions.
13. Check alternator V-belt (Figure 3, Item 5) tension using belt tension gauge. V-belt tension should be 30-50
pounds.
14. Adjust tension of alternator V-belt (Figure 3, Item 5) as needed to achieve tension of 30-50 pounds.
NOTE
New V-belt tension drops rapidly during the first few hours of operation. Check and
re-verify proper V-belt tension every four hours during the first 24-hours of operation
after replacing the belt.
15. Install top-middle panel (WP 0013, Install).
16. Install top-left panel (WP 0013, Install).
17. Place emergency stop switch (Figure 2, Item 1) in PULL TO START position.

Whenever performing maintenance on top of the MTRCS, always maintain three
points of contact to aid in stability. Never attempt to walk backwards while on top of
the container.
18. Climb off top of MTRCS using roof access provided.
19. Reconnect negative (-) battery terminal (WP 0053, Reconnect).
20. Place POWER ON/DOWN switch (Figure 1, Item 2) on control panel to ON position.
