FAN BELT TENSION
A slack fan belt may contribute to overheating, or to
insufficient charging of the battery. Inspect the fan belt for
damage and wear and adjust it in accordance with the
Engine Owner's Manual.
The fan belt tension is proper if the fan belt bends
7 to 10 mm between the water pump and alternator when
pressed with the thumb as shown in Figure 37.

ENGINE OIL
NOTICE
To achieve proper engine performance and durability,
only use engine oils that have an API rating of SM or
newer.
1. When checking or adding oil, place the machine so
the engine is level.
2. Pull the engine oil dipstick from its holder.
3. Determine if engine oil is low. Oil should be between
the upper limit and lower limit (add oil) lines.
4. If oil is below the Add Engine Oil line add oil up to
the upper limit on the dipstick. Allow enough time for
any added oil to make its way to the oil pan before
rechecking.
