Fan Belt Tension
1. Measure the deflection (A), depressing the belt halfway between
the fan drive pulley and alternator pulley at specified force 98 N
(10 kgf, 22 lbs).
2. If the measurement is not within the factory specifications, loosen
the alternator mounting screws and relocate the alternator to
adjust.

• When removing the radiator cap, wait at least ten minutes after the engine has stopped and cooled down.
Otherwise, hot water may gush out, scalding nearby people.
Radiator Cap Air Leakage
1. Set a radiator tester (1) and an adaptor (2) on the radiator cap.
2. Apply the specified pressure (88 kPa, 0.9 kgf/cm
2
, 13 psi), and
measure the time for the pressure to fall to 59 kPa (0.6 kgf/cm
2
,
9 psi).
3. If the measurement is less than the factory specification, replace
the radiator cap.
