1. Remove the old drive belt: Park your golf cart and engage the parking brake. Remove the access panel on the body of the golf cart, if applicable, to gain access to the drive belt. Tip the golf cart up onto its side, using the frame as the fulcrum, and support it on two wooden blocks so you can access the bottom of the engine. On most golf carts, you will need to use a wrench to loosen and remove the belt tensioner pulley bolt in order to relieve the tension on the belt and remove it from the drive system.
2. Install the new drive belt: Begin installation of the new belt by feeding it onto the drive system components. Work from the transmission pulley and then around the alternator pulley, then the tensioner pulley. Once the new belt is properly routed around all components, re-apply the tensioner pulley bolt with a wrench.
3. Check drive belt tension: Re-engage the parking brake and then start the golf cart. Place a belt tension gauge between the alternator pulley and tensioner pulley; a satisfactory tension will read 10 pounds per inch of belt span on a one-inch wide belt. Re-adjust the tension as needed to meet the manufacturer’s specifications.
4. Secure the access panel: Once the installation is complete, reinstall the access panel, if applicable, and use a wrench to tighten any bolts or screws that keep the panel in place.
