CHECKING THE DRIVE BELT
If the drive belt (1), which is a poly-V belt, is worn or damaged it must be
changed.
Also check that the automatic belt tensioner (2) is in proper working order
and keeps the drive belt correctly tensioned.
The extra coolant pump is driven with a V-belt (3) via a pulley on the
crankshaft. This V-belt should be tensioned with the aid of the pump
attachment until it can be pressed down a maximum of 10 mm with a pressure
of 35-50 N.
Do not connect the terminals
up incorrectly.
This can cause serious damage
to the electrical system.
If the terminals are shorted,
sparking will occur.
Dispose of used batteries
through an authorised waste
disposal contractor.
