The belt is kept adjusted to the appropriate tension
by the auto-tensioner, so you do not need to adjust
the belt tension. However, you should check the
auto-tensioner is working properly.
CAUTION
• If the belt is found to be damaged, have it
replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as
possible. The engine could fail if the belt
breaks.
• Prevent the V-belt from any contact with oil
or grease during inspection.
If soiled with oil or grease, the belts will slip
and this will shorten their service life.

WARNING
Always stop the engine before inspecting or
adjusting belts.
Ensure that the engine cannot be started

ments.
