Installation Guide

  1. Prepare Mounting Area: Ensure the alternator and existing belt system are clean and free from debris.
  2. Attach the UAA2: Position the Universal Adjustment Arm with the 1/2" offset to the desired mounting location, securing it with the provided hardware.
  3. Install the Belt Buddy Mechanism: If using only the adjustment mechanism with an existing arm, purchase part number BBU and follow the specific instructions for anchoring.
  4. Tension the Belt: Adjust the belt tension using the Belt Buddy Mechanism to ensure optimal performance.
  5. Verify Installation: Double-check all connections and ensure the belt operates smoothly without excessive slack or tension.

Important Considerations

Caution: Utilizing only the adjustment mechanism with an existing adjustment arm may reduce the available "travel" in the arm. Ensure that your alternator mounting does not require this additional movement before purchasing the BBU module.
