Installation Guide

1. Disconnect the battery to ensure electrical safety before beginning work.
2. Locate the alternator on your Volvo Penta engine and identify the existing drive belt.

5. Inspect all pulleys for wear, damage, or debris and clean as necessary.
6. Route the new drive belt around the crankshaft pulley and alternator pulley following the original belt path.
