Installation Notes

Verify pulley style, belt type, rotation direction, amperage rating, and regulator configuration before installation. Confirm the vehicle’s AC and equipment notes against the fitment listing, since several applications vary by standard, heavy-duty, or California equipment packages. Match the existing V-belt and 1-groove pulley setup to the vehicle’s charging system layout.
