Fan Belt Adjustment

Hello,

I have fitted a new fan belt today and I did as it said in the manual by ensuring that there was thereabouts an inch of play in the longest section of belt. I have noticed a quiet humming/ whirring noise when idling. Could it be that the belt is too tight? or not tight enough? I would hate to knacker the bearings! All help would be greatly appreciated!

Best Wishes

Kyle

1" is too slack! Tighten it slightly... But not 'drum' tight. New belts always stretch out slightly - so keep an eye on it.
