plugs. It is recommended that you have
the spark plugs replaced by your

cording to the maintenance schedule in

Drive belts1) Power steering pump pulley
2) Air conditioner compressor pulley
3) Crank pulleyThe alternator, power steering pump, and
air conditioner compressor depend on
drive belts. Satisfactory performance re-
quires that belt tension be correct.
To check belt tension, place a straight-
edge (ruler) across two adjacent pulleys
and apply a force of 22 lbs (98 N, 10 kg)
midway between the pulleys by using a
spring scale. Belt deflection should be the
amount specified. If a belt is loose,
cracked, or worn, contact your SUBARU
dealer.
y
When disconnecting the spark
plug cables, always grasp the
spark plug cap, not the cables.
y Make sure the cables are replaced
in the correct order.
