MA-16 < PERIODIC MAINTENANCE > ENGINE MAINTENANCE 3. Adjust the belt tension by turning the adjusting bolt. Refer to CAUTION: • When checking immediately after installation, first adjust it to the specified value. Then, after turning crankshaft two turns or more, readjust to the specified value to avoid variation in deflec- tion between pulleys. • When the tension adjustment is performed, the lock nut should be in the condition at Step 2. If the tension adjustment is performed when the lock nut is loosened more than the temporary tightening, the idler pulley tilts and the correct tension adjustment cannot be performed. 4. Tighten the lock nut to final tightening specification. ENGINE COOLANT INFOID:0000000009670482 CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM HOSES Check hoses for the following: • Improper attachment • Leaks • Cracks • Damage • Loose connections • Chafing • Deterioration CHECKING RESERVOIR LEVEL • Check that the reservoir tank engine coolant level is within the MAX (A) to MIN (B) range when the engine is cool. • Adjust the engine coolant level if necessary. CAUTION: Refill the engine cooling system with the specified coolant or equivalent. Refer to MA-12, "Fluids and Lubricants" . CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS WARNING: Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure engine coolant escaping from the radiator. Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly push down and turn it a quarter turn to allow built-up pressure to escape. Carefully remove the cap by pushing it down and turning it all the way. CAUTION: • Perform this step when the engine is cold. • Do not spill engine coolant on drive belt.
