Fit the new belt.
Position the sensor of Mot. 1273.
Turn the adjusting button of the sensor until it di-
sengages (three "CLICKS").
Tension the belt until the recommended fitting
value is displayed on Mot. 1273.
Lock the tensioner, check it and adjust the value.
Turn the crankshaft over three times .
Check that the tension value is within the fitting
tension tolerance (± 10%), otherwise readjust it.
