CAUTION
• If the fan belt is too tight, excessive stress is
put on to the fan bearings and belt, which
might shorten the life of both. If it is too
loose, it will slap against the pulleys, causing
unnecessary wear and tear to the belt, which
could cause possible slipping, to the extent
that the engine will overheat.
• Keep the belt free from oil or grease.
