Check the tension on the alternator's belt
Checking the belt tension should be done with a belt tension
meter of tension type or Burroughs type.
A new belt should have a tension of 200 lb (890 N).
A used belt should have a tension of 80-160 lb (360-710
N).
NOTE: The belt is considered used after ten minutes of usage
or more.
OBSERVATION: This procedure is not applied on automatic
belt tensioners.
If the tension of a used belt is under the
minimum value, adjust it again to the maximum
value for used belts.
Check the pre-filter's water divider
Check and drain the remaining water in the pre-filter divider.
1. Clean the filter body with a cloth, including the drainage plug.
2. At the lower part of the filter, loosen manually the water
drainage plug (1).
3. Allow the water that is stored in the divider to run and as soon
as the diesel oil starts running, close the plug.
TAKE CARE OF THE ENVIRONMENT: Don’t
allow the fuel to drain on the ground. Place a
container under the filter before draining the
water.
