[2] LUBRICATING SYSTEM
Engine Oil Pressure
1. Remove the engine oil pressure switch, and set the oil pressure
tester (Code No.: 07916-32032). (Adaptor screw: PT 1/8)
2. Operate the engine for warming-up.
3. Measure the oil pressure at the idle speed and rated speed.
4. If the oil pressure is less than the allowable limit, do a check
below.
• Engine oil level
• Oil pump
• Oil strainer
• Oil filter cartridge
• Oil passage
• Oil clearance
• Relief valve
(When reassembling)
• After you check the oil pressure of the engine, tighten its oil
pressure switch to the specified torque.

[3] COOLING SYSTEM
Fan Belt Tension
1. Stop the engine and remove the key.
2. Apply moderate thumb pressure to belt between pulleys.
3. If tension is incorrect, loosen the alternator mounting bolts and,
using a lever placed between the alternator and the engine
block, pull the alternator out until the deflection of the belt falls
within acceptable limits.
4. Replace fan belt if it is damaged.
