CHECKING THE TENSION
Use your finger to exert pressure of around 10 kg on
the centre of the drive belt. The tension slack should
be between about 8 and 12 mm (.3 to .4 in).
NOTE: Check if there are any signs of wear damage
to the pulleys or the belt. Check carefully to ensure
that the belt is correctly positioned in the pulley
grooves. If the belt is stretched, cracked or frayed, it
must be replaced.
IMPORTANT: If the engine runs with the belt slack,
the belt can slip in its housing and cause the engine
to overheat or the battery to receive insufficient
charge.
