2 Visually inspect the drive belt, checking that the drive teeth and the smooth outer face are undamaged.
3 Check belt tension using light finger pressure midway between the pulleys (A2). A deflection of 1,5 mm

then retighten all the bolts.

Note: To replace the drive belt refer to Chapter 14 in the Workshop Manual.
