+When checking belt deflection immediately after
installation, first adjust it to the specified value. Then,
after turning crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust it to
the specified value to avoid variation in deflection
between pulleys.
+Make sure the belts are fully fitted into the pulley
grooves during installation.
+Handle with care to avoid smearing the belts with oil or
cooling water etc.
+Do not twist or bend the belts with strong force.

Checking and Replacing Fuel Filter and
Draining Water
Be careful not to spill fuel in engine compartment. Place a
rag to absorb fuel.
CHECKING FUEL FILTER
Check fuel filter for fuel leakage, damage and other abnormal
signs.
REPLACING FUEL FILTER
1. Disconnect harness connector and drain fuel.
2. Remove two installation bolts. Remove fuel filter and fuel fil-
ter bracket assembly from vehicle-side bracket. (It is not nec-
essary to disconnect fuel hose.)
3. Remove fuel filter using band-type filter wrench.

CAUTION:
Remove fuel filter without spilling fuel. If spilt, wipe off
immediately. Be specially careful not to spill fuel on engine
mount insulator.
5. Wipe clean fuel filter mounting surface on fuel filter bracket
and smear a little fuel on rubber seal of fuel filter.
6. Screw fuel filter on until a slight resistance is felt, then tighten
an additional more than 2/3 of a turn.
7. Install fuel filter sensor to new fuel filter.
8. Bleed air from fuel filter.
Refer to ªAir Bleedingº in EC section.
9. Start engine and check for leaks.
DRAINING WATER
1. Drain water as follows.
Loosen drain cock and drain water by operating priming
pump.
Loosening drain cock four to five turns causes water to
start draining. Do not remove drain cock by loosening it
