Peg the flywheel, using tool [1].
Position the tools [2a]and [2b].
Slacken the tensioner roller.
Turn the dynamic tensioner roller so as to be able
to position the tool[4], with the aid of an Allen key
placed at «a».
Turn the tensioner roller towards the right to bring
it to the index «c»in position «b».
Peg the tensioner roller in this position in order to
slacken the timing belt to the maximum.
