5.5 Exciter V-belt

It is not necessary to retighten the V-belt owing to the use of the automatic centrifugal
clutch.

Should the V-belt width fall below 15,5 mm the V-belt must be replaced.

5.5.1 Changing the exciter V-belt:

1. Remove belt guard (5) by removing the Bolt on both sides
2. Undo screw (30).
3. Remove the centrifugal clutch (31) from the engine along with belt (32) and rotate the

exciter pulley for the trouble free operation

4. Change exciter V-belt (32).
5. Assemble the components in reverse order; make sure that the Bolt tightening the

clutch had attained to full torque limit.

Do not oil or grease clutch components (will damage the graphite bushes).
