REPLACING THE POLY-V BELT
Important
Always fit the same type of poly-V-belt as the one being replaced.
1. Disconnect the earth lead from the battery.
2. Place a ratchet (A) with a 3/8" socket in the arm of the automatic belt tensioner
(B).
3. Slacken the poly-V-belt (C) (see arrow in illustration), so that it can be removed
from the pulleys.
4. Carefully allow the automatic belt tensioner to spring back to the stop.
5. Push the poly-V-belt between the fan and the wind tunnel collar and remove the
poly-V-belt.
6. Check all pulleys over which the poly-V-belt runs for dirt, rust and damage.
7. Fit a new poly-V-belt between the fan and wind tunnel collar. Place the poly-V-
belt over as many pulleys as possible.
8. Tension the automatic belt tensioner and place the poly-V-belt over the
remaining pulleys. Carefully allow the automatic belt tensioner to spring back
against the new poly-V-belt.
9. Check that the poly-V-belt is in all pulley grooves.
10. Connect the earth lead to the battery.
