Make sure that the fan spider assembly or the fan drive does not fall, this could cause damage to the radiator core.
The following steps are for the installation of the fan drive. Check the condition of the fan spider assembly for damage or broken fan blades. Check the condition of the hub area of the fan assembly. If the part is damaged, use a new part for replacement.5. Attach a nylon lifting sling and a hoist to fan drive (4). Position fan drive (4) to the mounting bracket. The weight of fan drive (4) is 23 Kg (50 lb).6. Install bolts (5) and washers to fan drive (4) to the mounting bracket.7. During the installation of the V-belts, check the condition of all the V-belts. If any of the V-belts are damaged, use new parts for replacement.8. Install V-belts (3) on the alternator drive pulley.9. Adjust the V-belt tension. Refer to the "Operation & Maintenance Manual" for the proper procedure of adjusting (new or used) V-belt tension.a. Tighten the V-belts until they deflect 12 mm (1.2 in) for new V-belts, or 16 mm (5/8 in) for old V-belts under the application of a 13 Kg (25 lb) force half way between the pulleys.b. A Borroughs Gauge No. BT-33-72-4-15 can also be used to make the V-belt adjustment. Make an adjustment to the V-belt farthest from the engine.
