SION (V)
In order to extend the fan belt’s life-
time, the tension of the belt should
be correctly adjusted if it slips. The
belt tension should be inspected reg-
ularly according to the following pro-
cedure:
1. Stop the engine and apply the
parking brake.
2. Open the hood and remove the
left side cover.
3. If the fuel pipes and hose clamps
are found damaged or deterio-
rated earlier than two years, then
change them immediately.
4. A f te r t he f ue l p ip e a n d h os e
clamps have been changed, bleed
the fuel system.
Stop the engine when check-
ing the items above.
The fuel pipes are subject to
wear and aging. Failure to per-
form periodic inspections may
lead to a fuel leak. Fuel leaking
on a hot engine could cause a
re.
When changing fuel pipes, be
careful not to allow dust or dirt
to enter the fuel system. Con-
taminations in the fuel system
could damage the fuel sys-
tem or injection pump. Pay ex-
tra caution to the fuel pump to
prevent dust from entering it.
