OIL LEVEL IN THE S-DRIVE
Check every 14 days that the oil level is
within the marks on the dipstick.
The oil dipstick is provided with a bayo-
net type of attachment. Therefore it has
to be turned prior to removal and re-
insertion. Note the seal underneath the
oil dipstick head. When checking the oil-
level, the dipstick has to be turned to the
locked position.
When topping-up oil, top-up through the
oil dipstick hole. NOTE! Do not top-up
above the upper mark on the dipstick.
Concerning choice of oil, see under
“Technical Data” Page 30.
THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL IN BATTERY
The level should be between 5—10mm (3/16 – 3/8”) above the cell plates in the
battery. If necessary top up with distilled water. NOTE! Exercise great care when doing
this. The electrolyte is corrosive and the gas being formed is explosive.
THE BELT TENSION
Correct belt
tension is necessary for full
alternator output. The belt
should be
tensioned in such a way that it
can be
depressed 5 mm (3/16”) with the thumb
midway between the pulleys.
The belt can be tensioned after loosening
the alternator mounting bolts.
A well worn or cracked belt should be
replaced. See page 18.
