13. Inspecting and adjusting the
fan belt
Cautions
●
Be sure to stop the engine.
●
Inspect and adjust the fan belt when the
engine is cold. Otherwise, you may be burnt.
Open the rear cover, push the middle point of
the fan belt by a force of about 10N (1kgf) to
check that the belt deflection is about 4mm, and
check for damage of the belt. If the deflection is
not proper, loosen the alternator tightening bolt
and move the alternator to adjust the belt
tension. If the belt still slips even after the
alternator was moved fully, replace the belt with
new one.
14. Cleaning the radiator
Warning
●
Remove debris or grass accumulated inside
or wound over some parts, if any. Particularly,
turf accumulated around the V belt or engine
should be promptly removed. Otherwise, a
fire may be caused.
(1) Open the bonnet.
(2) Pull the lever at the back of the seat and lift
up the seat.
(3) Pull down the front screen frontward.
(4) Remove the grass and other debris. Drop
the dust between the front screen and
radiator from above.
(5) By opening the cover at the bottom of the
radiator, grass or debris can be dropped.
Turf attached to the radiator may cause
overheat. Be sure to inspect and clean before
and after operation. Inspect during the
operation also depending on the operating
conditions.
