3.2 Suggestions for Removal

(1) Loosen the tension pulley lock bolt by three or
four turns.
If the bolt is loosened insufficiently, the tension Fan pulley
pulley will not move.
Note: Do not loosen the lock bolt to such an extent
that the bolt would be removed.

(2) Move the tension pulley fully toward the fan, then
remove the belt.

3.3 Installation
To install, follow the removal sequence in reverse.
Also follow the instructions given below.
(1) Before installing the belt, turn the fan to check for
smooth rotation. Replace the bearing if it gener-
ates unusual noises.
(2) After installing the belt, push it to make sure that
the tension pulley moves, then tighten the pulley
lock bolt firmly.

4. Inspection and Adjustment

4.1 Fan Belt Inspection
(1) Check the belt for contamination from oil, grease
or dust. Replace the belt if required. When the
contamination is slight, clean the belt with a rag or
paper towel. Do not use gasoline, oil or any other
solvent to clean the belt.
(2) During the engine overhaul or belt tension adjust-
ment, check the condition of the belt. Replace the
belt if it has any damage.

4.2 Fan Belt Tension

Apply force of 98 N (10 kgf) [22.0 lbf] perpendicularly
to the belt midway between the fan pulley and tension Fan pulley
pulley. Adjust the belt tension between 11 to 13 mm
(0.43 to 0.51 in.).

4.3 Connecting Hoses

When connecting the hoses to the radiator, fit their
Hose
ends fully on the fittings and secure them with clamps.
Make sure that each hose is correctly connected and
over the flare of the fitting.

4.5 Coolant
Fill the radiator with coolant containing antifreeze.
After starting the engine and letting it warm up during
operation, check for abnormal noises. Check the cool-
ant level in the reserve tank to ensure it meets the
specification.
