Checking DriveBelt

WARNING:
Inspect drivebeltdeflections whenengine iscold. When engine
is hot, check deflections atleast 30minutes afterengine has
been switched off.

1. Inspect beltsforcracks, fraying, wearoroil adhesion. If
necessary, replacewithnewones.
2. Inspect drivebeltdeflections bypushing onthe belt midway
between pulleys.
3. Adjust belt
