SLXe (from October 2016) and SLXi Upper Belt Replacement
NOTE: For SLX, SLXe and SLXi units with tensioner assembly service p/n: 77-3192 installed, refer to the below procedure
for upper belt replacement.
1. Place a 17 mm socket T-bar/spanner over the head of the tensioner bolt in a horizontal starting position.
Gently apply downward force until the force of the tensioner spring has been taken up by the spanner.
WARNING: Do not apply more force to the tensioner bolt than is necessary to remove the belt from the tensioner pulley.
2. Slide the belt from the tensioner pulley by hand in the direction shown below.
Warning: Do not put fingers between the belt and the tensioner assembly.
3. Gently release the downward pressure on the spanner to remove it from the tensioner bolt.
The spanner will rise above the horizontal starting position under the force of the spring.
NOTE: It is important to place the spanner in the correct starting position as indicated in step 1.
4. With a suitable air or electric or hand ratchet socket, loosen the 3 x 6mm top fan blower air inlet cowl (12) as far as it’s end
stops. this allows the inlet cowl to be moved away from the upper fan blower and the belt to be passed between the upper fan
blower and it’s inlet cowl.
5. Remove the old belt and install a new belt on the pulleys.
Refer to fan belt fitment guide below for direction.
6. Ensure that the new belt is fitted correctly into the grooves on all pulleys prior to beginning next step.
7. Apply downward force on the tensioner bolt again and move the new belt onto the tensioner pulley in the direction of the red
arrow until correctly fitted into the grooves of the pulley.
8. Gently release the downward pressure on the spanner to remove it from the tensioner bolt.
