c. Do not apply more load than 400N on the rod.
d. Do not press the rod until its position is below 2.5mm from the body surface.

a.Repairing orders when disassembling the auto tensioner and reassembling it to the engine, or pulling
the pin out before its installation ;
a. Stand it vertically for about five minutes.
b. Press the rod with the force, 150~200N.
c. If the rod has a stiffness, press it slowly and insert the pin into the set hole.
d. If not(the tensioner is in 'sponge' state), press the rod slowly from its maximum projection to 2.9mm
position(the meeting point with the rod and the hole of the body) two or three times.
Afterwards, if stiffness is sensed, insert the pin into the hole. However, if not, scrap the tensioner.
(2) Install the auto tensioner(A) to the front case with the set- pin inserted.

15.Install the right side cover.
16. Install the front right wheel and tire.
17. Install the engine cover.
INSPECTION
SPROCKETS, TENSIONER, IDLER
1. Check the camshaft sprocket and crankshaft sprocket, tensioner pulley and idler pulley for abnormal wear, cracks,
or damage. Replace as necessary.
2. Inspect the tensioner and the idler for easy and smooth rotation and check for play or noise. Replace as necessary.
Page 31 of 1575
3.Replace the tensioner and the idler if grease is leaked from bearings.
TIMING BELT
1.Check the belt for oil or dust deposits.
Replace, if necessary.
Small deposits should be wiped away with a dry cloth or paper. Do not clean with solvent.
2. When the engine is overhauled or belt tension adjusted, check the belt carefully. If any of the following flaws are
evident, replace the belt.
a.Do not bend, twist or turn the timing belt inside out.
b. Do not allow the timing belt to come into contact with oil, water and steam.
3. Inspect the idler for easy and smooth rotation and check for play or noise.

REMOVAL
a.Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted surfaces.
b. To avoid damaging the cylinder head, wait until the engine coolant temperature drops below normal
temperature before removing it.
c. When handling a metal gasket, take care not to fold the gasket or damage the contact surface of the gasket.
d. To avoid damage, unplug the wiring connectors carefully while holding the connector portion.
