Drive Belt, Check and Change
WARNING!
Stop the engine before doing any maintenance work.
Check belt tension and condition regularly. The drive
belt has an automatic tensioner and need not be
adjusted. Check that the belt tensioner does not bot-
tom.
A belt which is to tense can damage the bearings and
a belt which is too loose can slip.
IMPORTANT!
Always change a belt which looks worn or cracked.
