Fit the thrust washer and propeller onto the shaft.

4. Checking coolant level
•
Remove the coolant cap (See Figure 12 ).
•
Add coolant if required.
•
The coolant will need to be periodically changed according to the anti-freeze
manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Belt Tension
•
This requires checking after the first 100 hours of operation, and then every 500 hours
or every 2-3 years (in a leisure use).
•
This can only be undertaken by your local authorised dealer.
•
The toothed drive belt requires changing every 1000 hours or 4-5 years (in a leisure
use) or sooner if the belt becomes damaged.
•
This can only be undertaken by your local authorised dealer.
Note: Belt life will be reduced if operating in shallow water or if it is not tensioned correctly.
•
There is a special tool available for purchase which allows you to test the belt tension.
•
To test the tension, remove the threaded plug on the side of the leg.
•
Ensure the plug has a waterproof sealant added to the thread to prevent water ingress
when refitted.
