CAUTION: If the engine oil is splashed on the fan
drive belt, it causes belt slippage or slackness;
therefore, take care to avoid it.
WARNING: In adding oil, take care not to spill it.
If you spill oil on engine or equipment, wipe it
properly, or this could lead to a fire and the risk of
personal injury and/or equipment damage.
(2) Fan Belt Check
Check the fan belt for tension and abnormalities.
1. When the belt is depressed about 5 mm (0.197 in) with
the thumb (about 50 N (11 lb) pressure) at midway
between the fan pulley and alternator pulley, the belt ten-
sion is correct.
When the belt tension is too high, it will result in alterna-
tor failure.
Also, a loose belt will cause belt slippage which may
result in damaged belt and abnormal noise.
2. Check the belts. Replace them if any damage is found.
CAUTION: Replace all belts as a set even when
one is not usable. Single belt of similar size must
not be used as a substitute for a matched belt set.
Otherwise, premature belt wear would result
because of uneven belt length.
(3) Coolant Level Check
1. The coolant level must be midway between "FULL" and
"LOW" marks of the reserve tank.
Check and see that the level is correct.
When the coolant level is lower than the "LOW" mark,
fill the reserve tank at the filler port, but when the reserve
tank is empty, fill at the radiator filler port.
2. Remove the radiator filler cap, and check the coolant
level.
Fill radiator to 2.54 cm (1”) below the filler cap.
WARNING: Do not remove the radiator filler cap
while the engine is still hot. Allow the engine to
cool and then cover the cap with a cloth, turn it
slowly to gradually release the pressure. Then
remove the cap.
3. Use only 50/50 anti-freeze and water as a coolant.
(4) Radiator Cap Condition
After the replenishment of the coolant, install the radiator
cap. Make sure the cap is securely installed.
Pour oil slowly to prevent
oil from flowing into the
air intake manifold
