CHECKS AND SERVICE
ELECTROLYTE LEVEL IN BATTERY
The level should be between 5—10mm (3/16 – 3/8”) above the cell plates in the
battery. If necessary top up with distilled water. IMPORTANT. Observe great care
when doing this since the electrolyte is abrasive and the gas which is formed is
explosive.
BELT TENSIONING
Correct belt tension is necessary for full
alternator output. The beltshould be so
tensioned that it can be depressed 5 mm
(3/16”)
with the thumb midway between
the pulleys.
To tension the belt, first slacken the
alternator retaining points, stretch the
belts and tighten up the points again.
A well worn or crached belt should be
replaced.
SERVICE EVERY 50 HOURS OF OPERATION:
CHANGE OIL IN ENGINE
With a new or newly reconditioned
engine, the oil should be changed for the
first time after 20 hours of operation and
after that after every 50 hours of
operation.
Run the engine warm. Suck up the oil
through the dipstick hole.
Fill with oil to the correct revel. See
under “Technical Data” concerning
choice of oil.
NOTE! Change also the oil filter (Fram
Filter PH3614) at every other oil change.
