DISASSEMBLY

Water

pump
is

made
of
aluminum

is
of

For
this

reason
water

should
not

Adjustment

Fan

should
be

properly
ad

justed
at
all
times
A

tight
belt
causes

wear
of

alternator

bearings
A
loose
belt

brings
about

improper
cooling
fan
water

models

The

torque
coupling
keeps
the
fan

speed
at
2
500

rpm
rated
or
below

to

conserve
horsepower
at

high
engine

speed
It
also

helps
reduce

to

a
minimum

during

tion

This
