Maintenance: Engine
Crankcase ventilation filter change
If oil and air begin to find their way out of the over-
pressure valve (2), change the filters (1) earlier than
recommended.
IMPORTANT! Change both filters at the same
time.
1. Remove the old filters by unscrewing them anti-
clockwise.
2. Check the rubber seals, change as necessary.
Screw the new filters on by hand.
Drive belts. Check/adjust/change
WARNING! Stop the engine before doing any
maintenance work.
General information
Check belt tension and condition regularly. 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 (belts which operate in pairs
must be changed together).
Alternator belt(s)
The standard alternator, plus the extra alternator if in-
stalled, are driven by a Poly-Vee belt each, for best
function and service life. The belts are tensioned in
the same way.
1. Remove the protective cover over the alternator
drive belt.
2. Undo the inner fixing screw (1) and the lock
screws (2) a couple of turns.
3. Tension the belts with tensioner screw (3). It
should be possible to press the belts down about
5 mm (0.2") between the pulleys when the tension
is correct.
4. Tighten lock screw (2) and the inner fixing screw
(1).
5. Install the protective cover over the alternator
drive belt.
