Generator device (Escort 3)

The cars were equipped with generators from Bosch, Lucas or Motorola — alternating current generators, three-phase. with a built-in rectifier unit and electronic voltage regulator (Fig. 7.6-7.8). The generator is driven by a Motorcraft 0165 V-belt. The tension force of a new belt is 40-50 kgf, a used belt — 30-40 kgf. If the belt is tensioned without using a torque wrench, ensure a deflection of 10 mm when pressing with your thumb in the middle of the longest branch of the belt.
