Tightening and aligning the drive belt
! If the drive belt tension is not cor-
rectly adjusted, the drive belt and other
components may be damaged.
If there is not enough tension in the
drive belt, the belt may slip on the belt
pulleys. This, in turn, may damage the
carbon fibres inside the drive belt. If
the drive belt has slipped, it should be
replaced at a qualified specialist work-
shop.
If there is too much tension in the drive
belt, bearings and seals in the wheel hub
may be damaged. Wear and friction losses
in the drive system as a whole will also
increase.
