FIG. 6-25:
To adjust belt tension, loosen the alternator
pivot bolt and nut (1) and tensioning bracket bolt (2). Pull
outward on top of the alternator to correctly tension belt
and tighten the bolt (2) first and then tighten the pivot
bolt (1).
IMPORTANT: Do not pry against the alternator hous-
ing or pulley. Carefully pry against the
alterna-tor mounting flange to prevent
damage.
ENGINE AIR CLEANER
IMPORTANT: Never operate the engine with the air fil-
ters removed.
FIG. 6-26:
The engine air cleaner is located above the
engine. To gain access remove the right side panel.
The dust ejector (1) should be squeezed daily to open
it and allow dust to drop out. This will reduce amount of
material which collects on the main filter.
To service the main filter, release the retaining band (2)
over the air cleaner and pull the air cleaner inlet tube to
rear to release it from the retaining hooks, then turn the
air cleaner out for servicing.
FIG. 6-27:
Release clips and uncover. Remove the ele-
ment. Examine the element and seals for damage and
brittleness. If the element is damaged in any way it must
be replaced.
NOTE: Fit the seal ring of the filter correctly when rein-
stalling.
