B4 ALTERNATOR/CRANKSHAFT/FAN BELT TENSION
ADJUST
- Open the left-hand cowl.
- Check the condition of the belt for any signs of wear or cracking and replace it, if necessary (see:
3 - MAINTENANCE: FILTER ELEMENTS AND BELTS).
- Check the tension between the crankcase and alternator pulleys.
- Under thumb pressure (98 N), the tension Ref. A (Fig. B4/1) must be 7 to 9 mm (Fig.B4/1).
- Adjust, if necessary.
- Loosen the bolts 1 (Fig. B4/2) two or three turns.
- Swivel the alternator assembly to obtain the requisite belt tension.
- Retighten the bolts 1 (fig. B4/2).
When changing an alternator belt, recheck the tension after the first 20 hours of
operation.
B5 RADIATOR CORE
CLEAN
- Open the bonnet.
To avoid clogging the radiator core, clean it with a jet of compressed air directed from the front
towards the back (Fig. B5). This is the only way to expel any dirt effectively.
Clean the radiator core daily when the lifting platform is being used in a very
dusty area.
