BChecking Fan Drive Belt Tension
To avoid serious injury or death:
A When making adjustments, park the machine
on a level surface, apply the parking brake,
stop the engine and remove the key.
1. Stop the engine and remove the key.
2. Apply moderate thumb pressure to the belt between
pulleys.
3. If tension is incorrect, loosen the alternator mounting
bolts and, using a lever placed between the alternator
and the engine block, pull the alternator out until the
deflection of the belt falls within the acceptable limits.
4. Replace the fan belt if it is damaged.
Moderate belt tension:
The belt should deflect approx. 10 mm when the center of
the belt is depressed with finger pressure of 98 N (10 kgf).
A When replacing the fan drive belt, be careful not to
catch it on the cap under the water pump.

BChanging Engine Oil
To avoid serious injury or death:
A Be sure to stop the engine and remove the key
before changing the oil.
A Allow engine to cool down sufficiently; oil can
be hot and may cause burns.
1. To drain the used oil, remove the drain plug at the
bottom of the engine and drain the oil completely into
the oil pan.
All the used oil can be drained out easily when the
engine is still warm.
2. After draining reinstall the drain plug.
3. Fill with the new oil up to the center on the dipstick,
between the upper and lower notch.
(See "LUBRICANTS, FUEL AND COOLANT" in
"MAINTENANCE" section.)
