(3) When the connector and the pipe are stuck, pinch
the retainer between the hands, push and pull the
connector to free to disconnect and pull it out. Do
not use any tool at this time.
(4) Inspect if there is any dirt or the likes on the seal sur-
face of the disconnected pipe and clean it away.
(5) Prevent the disconnected pipe and connector from
damaging and mixing foreign objects by covering
them with a vinyl bag.
(g) Observe these precautions when connecting the fuel
tube connector (quick type).
(1) Do not reuse the retainer removed from the pipe.
(2) Must use hands without using tools when to remove
the retainer from the pipe.
(3) Check if there is any damage or foreign objects on
the connected part of the pipe.
(4) Match the axis of the connector with axis of the pipe,
and push in the connector until the retainer makes
a ºclickº sound. In case that the connections is tight,
apply little amount of new engine oil on the tip of the
pipe.
(5) After having finished the connection, check if the
pipe and the connector are securely connected by
pulling them.
(6) Check if there is any fuel leakage.
(h) Observe these precautions when handling nylon tube.
(1) Pay attention not to turn the connector with force
when connecting them.
(2) Pay attention not to kink the nylon tube.
(3) Do not remove the EPDM protector on the outside
of the nylon tube.
(4) Must not close the piping with the nylon tube by
bending it.
Before installing the injector, must apply spindle oil
or gasoline on the place where a delivery pipe or an
intake manifold touches an O-ring of the injector.

DRIVE BELT
INSPECTION
INSPECT DRIVE BELT
(a) Visually check the drive belt for excessive wear, frayed
cords, etc.
If any defect has been found, replace the drive belt.
HINT:
Cracks on the rib side of a drive belt are considered acceptable.
If the missing chunks from the ribs are found on the drive belt,
it should be replaced.
(b) Using a belt tension gauge, measure the belt tension.
Belt tension gauge:
DENSO BTG-20 (95506-00020)
Borroughs No. BT-33-73F
Drive belt tension:
New belt: 120 - 185 lbf
Used belt: 95 - 135 lbf
If the belt tension is not as specified, adjust it.
HINT:

ºNew beltº refers to a belt which has been used less than
5 minutes on a running engine.

ºUsed beltº refers to a belt which has been used on a run-
ning engine for 5 minutes or more.

After installing a belt, check that it fits properly in the
ribbed grooves.

Check with your hand to confirm that the belt has not
slipped out of the groove on the bottom of the pulley.

After installing a new belt, run the engine for about 5 min-
utes and recheck the belt tension.

tion and keep it there for 2-3 seconds.
(b) Repeat (a) several times.
7. STOP ENGINE
8. CHECK FOR FOAMING OR EMULSIFICATION
If the system has to be bled twice specifically because of foam-

INSPECTION
1. CHECK FLUID LEVEL
(a) Keep the vehicle level.
(b) With the engine stopped, check the fluid level in the oil
reservoir.
If necessary, add fluid.
Fluid: ATF DEXRON® II or III
HINT:
Check that the fluid level is within the HOT LEVEL range on the
reservoir. If the fluid is cold, check that it is within the COLD
LEVEL range.
(c) Start the engine and run it at idle.
(d) Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times to
boost fluid temperature.
Fluid temperature: 80°C (176°F)
(e) Check for foaming or emulsification.
If there is foaming or emulsification, bleed power steering sys-
tem (See page SR-4).
(f) With the engine idling, measure the fluid level in the oil
reservoir.
(g) Stop the engine.
(h) Wait a few minutes and remeasure the fluid level in the oil
reservoir.
Maximum fluid level rise: 5 mm (0.20 in.)
If a problem is found, bleed power steering system (See page
SR-4).
(i) Check the fluid level.
