V-Belts - Check And Adjustment - Mitsubishi Fuso CANTER Owner's Handbook Manual

12-70
Simple inspection and service
V-belts – check and adjustment
The belt is kept adjusted to the appropriate tension
by the auto-tensioner, so you do not need to adjust
the belt tension. However, you should check the
auto-tensioner is working properly.
WARNING
Always stop the engine before inspecting or
adjusting belts.
Ensure that the engine cannot be started
while you are performing checks or adjust-
ments.
CAUTION
•
If the belt is found to be damaged, have it
replaced by an authorized MITSUBISHI
FUSO distributor or dealer as soon as possi-
ble. The engine could fail if the belt breaks.
•
Prevent the V-belt from any contact with oil
or grease during inspection.
If soiled with oil or grease, the belts will slip
and this will shorten their service life.
