before changing the belt/belts.
The alternator’s belt pulley is released by
slackening tighten nut and the belt get out off from

8.3.5. Check electrolyte level in
battery(8)
Electrolyte level
- The battery electrolyte level should be on the level
marked on the battery. If the battery has not that
mark check that the electrolyte level is approx. 5-10
mm (0.2-0.4 inç) above the cell plates in the
battery.
- Top up with distilled water if necessary.
- Never top up the battery with acid only and never
use a naked flame when checking the electrolyte
level.
NOTE: If the water in the battery evaporates too
quickly, it may be a sign that the charging voltage is
too high. Keep the outside of the battery clean and
dry. Protect the battery and cable terminals with
special grease.
IMPORTANT: In winter it is very important to allow
the engine to run for a little while after topping up
with distilled water, otherwise the water can freeze
before it has mixed properly with the battery acid.
WARNING: Be carefully with the battery
solution-danger from corrosion!
8.3.6. Check pre-filter and fuel filter (9)
Drain the pre-filter by opening the tap (1) a little in
the bottom of the pre-filter. By opening the airscrew
(2) in the upper part of the pre-filter water comes
out easier. After draining water close the tap and
the airscrew.
Drain the pre-filter more often to required.
Drain water from the fuel filter by opening the tap
(3) in the bottom of the filter. Close the tap.
Drain the fuel filter more often if required.
Bleed the fuel system if necessary, (see “Checks
and Adjustments).

NOTE: Check tyre pressures frequently.
DANGER: Avoid over inflation as
excess pressure may cause the tyre
to explode.
