drive belt, which drives all the ancillaries
except for the air conditioning compressor
and 24 Volt alternator (if fitted).
Driving belt tension
All pulleys and belts should be examined
regularlyfor any damage, deterioration or
fouling (grit, mud, oil etc). Replace or clean
where necessary.
After everyoff-road session, the drive belts
should be inspected for cuts and possible
damage caused by stones. If a belt has
jumped, reposition it correctlyand, if
necessary, replace it at the earliest
opportunity.
WARNING
Before checking or adjusting any drive belt;
to prevent the possibility of serious injury,
disconnect the battery negative lead to
prevent the engine from being started.
An automatic drive belt tensioner keeps the
belt at the correct tension, therebyeliminating
the need to manuallycheckthe belt deflection.
Under normal highway use, the belt must be
changed at 160,000 km (96,000 mile) or eight
year intervals (whichever occurs first), but
should be examined regularlyfor signs of
wear, splitting or oil contamination and
replaced accordingly.
