C) BELT REPLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT
If a belt breaks or becomes worn it is advisable to change the three belts con-
nected to the engine at the same time. The replacement of one or two belts alone
may give rise to adjustment problems.
Conversely, the blade rotor control belt is completely independent of the others, so
for its replacement or adjustment carry out the following:
- remove the plastic guard ( fig. 9 ref. C), by unscrewing and taking out the
screws shown in figure 9 ref. B
- pull the spring ( ref. A fig. 9 bis) off the upper connecting screw ( fig. 9 bis ref.
B) , so that the belt tightener ( ref. C fig. 9 bis) remains free and lowers auto-
matically.
- slip the belt off by turning the lower pulley in an anti-clockwise direction using
your hand ( ref. D, fig. 9 bis).
- obviously for assembly the procedure must be reversed, bearing in mind that
once the spring is in position the belt is automatically in its ideal adjustment
position.
