NOTE:
Maintenance items with “ ” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving
Conditions”.
(1)Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, check valve clearance.
(2) Replace the drive belt if found damaged or if the auto belt tensioner reading reaches the maximum limit.
(3) First replace at 90,000 Km (54,000 miles), then every 60,000 km (36,000 miles). Perform "I" (Checking the mixture ratio
and correcting the mixture ratio if necessary) at the middle of replacement interval.
