Starter/Generator Belt Tension; Fig. 25 Add Engine Oil - Ezgo FREEDOM HP Owner's Manual And Service Manual

Read all of manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings
Wipe the area around the filter mount with a clean, lint
free cloth and inspect both filter 'O' rings for damage;
replace if necessary. Install the filter into the engine. The
filter engages over a short nipple in the engine. The filter
should slide easily onto the nipple and seat against the
engine using light hand pressure only. Align the holes in
the filter mounting plate with the holes in the engine.
Install and hand tighten the bolts before tightening them
firmly.
Add slightly less than 1 1/2 quarts (1.4 liters) to allow for
possible residual oil left in engine (Ref. Fig. 25 on page
17). The oil must be high quality oil that meets or
exceeds API SF, SG, CC standards (Ref. Fig. 39 on
page 23). Check oil level on dipstick. If necessary, con-
tinue to add oil slowly and allow time for oil to flow down
into engine. Check oil level on dipstick. Do not overfill.
Do not overfill engine. Too much oil
may cause smoking or allow oil to enter
the air filter enclosure.
Both the oil dipstick and fill cap must be in
place before operating the engine. Failure to
install the dipstick and fill cap will result in oil being discharged
into the engine compartment.

Inspect oil fill cap 'O' ring and replace if necessary. Install
the oil fill cap. Run the vehicle for one or two minutes and
check the filter for oil leaks.
Check the oil level again with the vehicle on level ground.
Oil should be added to bring the level into the safe oper-
ating range. Do not overfill. The engine can be operated
safely as long as the oil is within the safe operating range
as indicated on the dipstick. Do not operate vehicle if

The starter/generator belt tension should be checked
after the first 15 - 20 hours and set to 75 - 80 lbs. (34 - 36
kg).
Tighten a new starter/generator belt (Ref. Fig. 39 on
page 23) to 90 - 110 lbs. (41-50 kg) tension when a
gauge is applied half way between the two pulleys (Ref.
Fig. 26 on page 17).
A new belt may be checked manually. A maximum
deflection of 3/8" (10 mm) is acceptable (Ref. Fig. 27 on
page 17).
Tighten an existing belt to 75 - 80 lbs. (34 - 36 kg) ten-
sion using the same technique and inspect for cracking
