MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS
MA035±04
ENGINE
Cold Engine Operations
1. REPLACE TIMING BELT
(a) Remove the timing belt.(See page EG±46)
(b) Install the timing belt. (See page EG±59)
2. INSPECT DRIVE BELT HINT: A belt tensioner is used, so checking the belt tension
is not necessary.
(a) Visually check the drive belt for excessive wear, frayed cords,
etc.
If necessary, replace the drive belt.
HINT:
w Cracks on the rib side of a drive belt are considered
acceptable. If the drive belt has chunks missing from the
ribs, it should be replaced.
w The drive belt tension can be released by turning the
belt tensioner counterclockwise. The pulley bolt for the
belt tensioner has a left±hand thread.
(b) Check the belt tensioner operation. wCheck that the belt tensioner moves downward when
the drive belt is pressed down at the points indicated in
the illustration with approx. 98 N (10 kgf, 22.0 lbf) of
force.
w Check the ali gnment of the belt tensioner pulley to make
sure the drive belt will not slip off the pulley.
If necessary, replace the belt tensioner.
w Check that the arrow mark on the belt tensioner falls
within area A of the scale.
If it is outside area A, replace the drive belt.
HINT:
w When a new belt is installed, it should lie within area B.
If not, the drive belt is not correct.

wAfter installing a drive belt, check that it fits properly in
the ribbed grooves.
w Check by hand to confirm that the belt has not slipped
out of the groove on the bottom of the pulley.
3. INSPECT AIR FILTER
(a) Open the air cleaner cap.
(b) Remove the air filter.
(c) Visually check that the air filter is not excessively damaged or oily.
If necessary, replace the air filter.
(d) Clean the air filter with compressed air. First blow from the inside thoroughly, then blow off from the
outside of the air filter.
(e) Reinstall the air filter and air cleaner cap.
4. REPLACE AIR FILTER Replace the air filter with a new one.
