CHECKS AND SERVICE
ELECTROLYTE LEVEL IN BATTERY
The level should be between 5-10 mm (3/16"-3/8") above the cell plates in the
battery. If necessary top up with distilled water. NOTE. Observe great care when
doing this, as the electrolyte is corrosive, and the gas which is formed is explosive.
BELT TENSION
Correct belt tensioning is necessary for full
alternator output. The belt should be so
tensioned that it can be depressed 5 mm
(3/16") with the thumb midway between the
pulleys.
The belt can be tensioned after slackening
the alternator mounting belts.
A well worn or cracked belt should be
replaced.
SERVICE EVERY 50 HOURS OF OPERATION
OIL CHANGE IN ENGINE
NOTE: Since the printing of the book an
alteration has been made in the method of
changing oil. In the case of the MD11C it has
been indicated that the oil screen is to be
removed. If the oil screen for the MD11C
does not have a Wedged handle it must not
be removed. Remove only the oil dipstick
and push the suction tube through the hole.
This procedure has to be followed also on
earlier engines.
With a new or newly reconditioned engine,
the oil should be changed for the first time
after 20 hours of operation, and thereafter
every 50 hours of operation. Run the engine
warm. Suck up the oil with a pump through the dipstick hole.
