The replacement method of automobile generator belt generally requires professionals to operate. Let's take a look at how to maintain the drive motor belt!

 1. The role of automobile motor belt The automobile motor belt mainly plays a transmission role. When the generator belt is excessively worn or aged, it is easy to break. When the generator belt is broken, the valve and ignition system will not operate normally, the piston will move up and down due to inertia, and the opening and closing of the valve has stopped, the generator cannot generate electricity normally, and the engine will stop because there is no electricity. If it is running at high speed, the engine will either have to be overhauled or be scrapped. 

2. How often should the car motor belt be replaced? 1. When we check the belt, if we find the core is broken and the groove section is cracked. At this time, we have to replace it immediately. 2. When the belt cover is separated from the drawstring, or the drawstring is loose, we have to change the belt. 3. When the belt is placed on the pulley, there should be a gap between the inner diameter of the belt and the bottom of the groove of the pulley. If there is no gap, we must also replace the belt. The automobile generator belt is made of rubber, and the loss rate is very high regardless of the drying and sun exposure. Since most of the belts on cars are made of rubber, it is inevitable that they will gradually wear out during long-term high-temperature work. Therefore, generally speaking, the manufacturer of the belt replacement time on the car has regulations, which are described in the vehicle's on-board maintenance manual.

According to general car maintenance standards, belts should be replaced at about 60,000-80,000 kilometers, and a small part can be replaced after driving 80,000-100,000 kilometers.

3. How to replace the belt of the car generator 1. Loosen the fixing screw of the motor and the adjusting screw of belt tightness. 2. Push the generator against the engine to make the distance between the pulleys the shortest, then put the belt on and straighten it. 3. Adjust the tightness of the belt to a suitable level, and then tighten the engine fixing screws and adjusting screws.
