General
General The belt transmission drives the coolant pump, the AC compressor and the alternators. Three different types of belts are used, depending on the type of bus and whether the bus is equipped with an AC compressor.
V-belt The V-belt is a toothed, wedge-shaped, FO-type belt. V-belts of FO type have better properties than standard belts on the market. The belt tensioning is obtained by using the alternator attachment point.
V-belt
Poly-V-belt The belt is a poly-V belt; a flat belt with small V-shaped grooves on the inside. This kind of belt allows trailing wheels on the outside to raise the winding angle on the pulleys. In order to get the correct belt tension an automatic belt tensioner is used.

Renewing V-belts When renewing V-belts, take the following into account: • Use original FO type V-belts. V-belts of FO type have better properties than standard belts on the market. • Always renew V-belts in pairs, even if only one V-belt is broken. Use V-belts in pairs. • Inspect the pulleys. Remove corrosion, dirt, oil and grease. • Renew pulleys with damaged belt grooves. • Inspect the V-belts. A damaged V-belt has a short service life. A V-belt with oil, for example, can easily slip. • Check the belt tension.

attachment points.

V-belt
Checking belt tension
If the belt tension is too high the pulleys and bearings are put under stress, which reduces the service life of the V-belts. If the belt tension is too low, the belt will slip during high engine output. Slip leads to poor charging, incorrect engine speed indication, incorrect input values to the tachograph and to poor cooling.

Measuring 1 Reset the gauge by depressing the gauge arm. 2 Place the gauge on the V-belt between two pulleys. 3 Press until a click can be heard from the gauge. 4 Read the measurement.
Recommended belt tension for FO belts
New belt 370 N Used belt 310 N
New V-belts have a higher belt tension because
belts lose tension throughout their service life.

Poly-V-belt
Automatic belt tensioner
The belt tensioner must not be adjusted, opened,
repaired or modified in any way. If the belt tensioner does not provide sufficient tensioning of the poly-V-belt, it must be renewed. The poly-V-belt must be removed before the belt tensioner retaining bolt is slackened. The index pin (restricting the belt tensioner angular movement) is not designed to withstand the spring force and may thus break unless the belt tensioner retaining bolt is tightened.
! WARNING!
If the index pin breaks, the belt tensioner
arm will move out. There is a risk of personal injury since the spring force on the tensioner is high.

Fitting the poly-V-belt
Below is a general description in order to facilitate fitting of the poly-V-belt. The illustrations show a 12 litre engine but the procedure is the same for all engines with poly-V-belts. 1 Fit a ratchet handle in the belt tensioner. 2 Fit the poly-V-belt.

Note: Check that the belt is correctly routed on
all pulleys and idler rollers.

Noise in the belt drive
Checks to be made Run the engine with full load on the belt drive, i.e. with the fan, alternator and, if fitted, the AC switched on. Run the engine at idling speed, full speed and with rapid acceleration. Proceed as follows in case of noise 1 Slacken the poly-V-belt. 2 Check the poly-V-belt for cracks and wear according to the instructions in the section Checking the poly-V-belt. 3 Check the belt drive rollers by turning them. The rollers should turn easily without jamming or noise. 4 Check the belt tensioner by slowly pressing it from the poly-V-belt until it stops. Then, slowly bring the belt tensioner back to the initial position. Repeat 2-3 times. Jamming or jerking of the belt tensioner is not permissible.

Checking the poly-V-belt
IMPORTANT! Do not change the direction of
rotation when the poly-V-belt is refitted.
• Mark the direction of rotation of the
poly-V-belt. • Detach the poly-V-belt from the pulleys. • Be careful when checking the poly-V-belt. If the poly-V-belt has one or more cracks, renew it.
If there are large cracks or if pieces are missing,
Small surface cracks are acceptable. renew the belt.

Multi belt
AC on K bus
Shelf for AC compressor
On K buses with AC, the AC compressor is located on a shelf alongside the engine. The AC compressor is driven by a separate belt drive. The belt which drives the AC compressor is a belt of multibelt-type.
1 Shelf for AC compressor
2 AC compressor
There are air bellows under the AC compressor
which keep the multi belt tensioned by tilting the AC compressor shelf.

The air bellows obtain air through a valve which
is located next to the AC compressor. When renewing a multi belt, the air bellows are drained by turning the knob on the valve.
