INSPECT BATTERY SPEC1 FlC GRAVITY AND
ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
CORRECT WRONG
(a)
Check the specific gravity of each cell.
3.
Standard specific gravity:
When fully charged at 20" C (68"
F)
1.27
-
1 -29 (80D26R)
1.25
-
1.27 (Others)
If not
as
specified, charge the battery.
(b)
Check the electrolyte quantity of each cell.
If insufficient, refill with distilled (or purified) water.
CHECK BATTERY TERMINALS, FUSIBLE LINKS AND
FUSES
(a)
Check that the battery terminals are not loose or cor-
roded.
(b)
Check the fusible links and fuses for continuity.
INSPECT DRIVE BELTS
(a)
Visually check each belt for cracks, oiliness or wear.
Check that the belt does not touch the bottom of the
pulley groove.
:
If one belt has any of the above defects, replace both belts.
(b)
Check the drive belt deflection by pressing on the
belt at the points indicated in the illustration with 10
kg (22.0 Ib,
98
N) of pressure.

"New belt" refers to
a
belt which has been used for
5
minutes or
less
on
a
running engine.
"Used belt" refers to
a
belt which
has
been used for
5
minutes or more on
a
running engine.
After installing
a
new belt, run the engine for about
5
minutes and recheck the deflection.
