Checking Drive BeltsELS000CC
●Before inspecting the engine, make sure the engine has cooled
down; wait approximately 30 minutes after the engine has been
stopped.
●Visually inspect all belts for wear, damage or cracks on contact-
ing surfaces and edge areas.
●When measuring deflection, apply 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb) at the
marked point ( ).
CAUTION:
●When checking belt deflection immediately after installa-
tion, first adjust it to the specified value. Then, after turn-
ing the crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust to the
specified value to avoid variation in deflection between
pulleys.
●Tighten idler pulley lock nut by hand and measure deflection without looseness.
Belt Deflection:
*: When engine is cold.
Tension AdjustmentELS000K5
Adjust belts with the parts shown below.
CAUTION:
●When a new belt is installed as a replacement, adjust it to the value specified under “New” value
because of insufficient adaptability with pulley grooves.
●If the belt deflection of the current belt is out of the “Limit for re-adjusting”, adjust to the
“Adjusted” value.
●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 varia-
tion 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 engine oil or cooling water etc.
●Do not twist or bend the belts with strong force.

VISCOUS PAPER TYPE
The viscous paper type air cleaner filter does not require any clean-
ing operation between renewal.
Changing Engine OilELS000CH
WARNING:
●Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.
●Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may
cause skin cancer: try to avoid direct skin contact with
used engine oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly
with soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Warm up engine, put vehicle horizontally and check for engine
oil leakage from engine components.
2. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
3. Remove drain plug and oil filler cap.
4. Drain engine oil.
●Install drain plug and refill with new engine oil.
Engine oil specification and viscosity:
●API grade CF-4.
●ACEA B1, B3, B4, B5
●Refer to MA-16, "RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS" .
Engine oil capacity (Approximate):
●The refill capacity depends on the engine oil temperature and drain time. Use these specifications for
reference only.
Always use the dipstick to the determine when the proper amount of engine oil is in the engine.
CAUTION:
●Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
●The refill capacity depends on the engine oil temperature and drain time. Use these specifica-
tions for reference only.
Always use the dipstick to the determine when the proper amount of engine oil is in the
engine.
5. Warm up engine and check area around drain plug and oil filter for engine oil leakage.
6. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
7. Check engine oil level. Refer to LU-18, "
ENGINE OIL" .

REMOVAL
CAUTION:
●Be careful not to get burned when the engine and engine oil
are hot.
●When removing, prepare a shop cloth to absorb any engine
oil leakage or spillage.
●Do not allow engine oil to adhere to the drive belts.
●Completely wipe off any engine oil that adhere to the engine
and the vehicle.
1. Using a socket wrench [plane-to-plane width: 17 mm (0.67 in)],
loosen the filter body approximately four turns.
2. Drain the engine oil after matching the "DRAIN" arrow mark at
the bottom of the filter body to the protrusion on the oil filter
bracket.
●Catch the engine oil with a pan or cloth.
CAUTION:
●The drained engine oil flows over the right surface of
the filter body.
●Completely wipe clean any engine oil remaining on the
filter body or vehicle.
3. Remove the filter body, then remove the oil filter.

4. Remove the O-ring from the filter body.
●Push the O-ring in one direction, lift the slack part using fin-
gers, and remove the O-ring from the filter body.
CAUTION:
Do not use wires or flat-bladed screwdrivers etc. as they
may cause damage to the filter body.
INSTALLATION
1. Completely remove all foreign objects adhering to the inside of the filter body or O-ring mounting area
(body side and bracket side).
2. Install the oil filter and O-ring to the filter body.
●Push the oil filter into the filter body completely.
3. Install the filter body to the oil filter bracket.
4. After warming up the engine, check for engine oil leakage.
5. Check engine oil level and add engine oil. Refer to LU-18, "
ENGINE OIL" .
Draining WaterELS000CJ
1. Prepare a tray at the drain hose open end.
2. Loosen drain cock, and operate priming pump to drain water
from fuel filter.
CAUTION:
●Water in filter is drained with fuel. Prepare larger capacity
pan than fuel filter volume.
●Drained water is mixed with fuel. Prevent fuel from adher-
ing to rubber parts such as engine mount insulator.
3. After draining, close drain cock by hand.
CAUTION:
If drain cock is tightened excessively, it may be damaged
and fuel will leak. Do not use tools to tighten drain cock.
4. Bleed air in fuel piping. Refer to FL-16, "
Air Bleeding" .
5. Start engine and check fuel leakage.

Checking A/T FluidELS000BV
1. Warm up engine.
2. Check for fluid leakage.
3. Before driving, fluid level can be checked at fluid temperatures
of 30 to 50°C (86 to 122°F) using “COLD” range on dipstick.
a. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
b. Start engine and move selector lever through each gear posi-
tion. Leave selector lever in “P” position.
c. Check fluid level with engine idling.
d. Remove dipstick and note reading. If level is at low side of either
range, and fluid to the charging pipe.
e. Re-insert dipstick into charging pipe as far as it will go.
f. Remove dipstick and note reading. If reading is at low side of range, add fluid to the charging pipe.

checking operation of A/T. Flush cooling system after repair of
A/T.
●If A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.),
replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent
and compressed air after repair of A/T. Refer to CO-11,
