      Note


      • Check the V belt at the specified point.

      • When installing a new belt, adjust the belt tension within the specified range.

      • When readjusting the belt tension, adjust the belt once again after 5 minutes of idling so that tension is within the specified range.

      • When installing a new belt, readjust the belt tension after 5 minutes of idling so that tension is within the specified range.

      • Check that there is clearance between the V belt and pulley.
