120 Maintenance
Fan Drive Belts
Before working on or inspecting a vehi-
cle, set the parking brakes, place the
transmission in neutral and block the
wheels. Failure to do so can result in un-
expected vehicle movement and can
cause serious personal injury or death.
WARNING
Hot engine. Keep yourself clear of all
hot engine parts and/or fluids. A hot en-
gine and/or can cause serious burns.
All engine belts should be checked at each
service point. Inspect for cracked or frayed
material. Most belts have automatic belt
tensioners to keep the correct tension
without adjustment. Some belts are still ad-
justed with an adjusting mechanism to get
the correct tension. Check with your dealer
to get the correct tension value for the dif-
ferent belts.
CAUTION
Do not tighten the belts over recom-
mended values. Over-tightening a belt
may damage bearings as well as belts.
