is on the right in the direction of travel. To replace
the belt, the screw connections of the alternator
must be loosened. Then swivel the alternator all
the way to the middle of the vehicle. The loosened
belt can now be removed from the V-belt pulleys
and guided past the fan propeller. Install the new
belt in reverse order.

When the engine cover is raised, the air filter is
located in the centre of the vehicle immediately in
front of the engine. Loosen the hooking clips of
the cover. Remove the air filter element and clean
or replace it. During assembly, it is essential to
ensure proper fastening of the clips. If loose, dust
and dirt can be sucked in and cause damage.
