dard values, information regarding the use of special tools, etc.), these are ar-
ranged together as major maintenance and service points and explained in detail.
AA": Indicates that there are essential points for removal or disassembly.
"AA: Indicates that there are essential points for installation or reassembly.
Symbols for Lubrication, Sealants and Adhesives
Information concerning the locations for lubrica-
tion and for application of sealants and adhe-
sives is provided, by using symbols, in the dia-
gram of component parts or on the page follow-
ing the component parts page, and explained.: Grease
(multipurpose grease unless there is
a brand or type specified)

ENGINE OVERHAUL -Timing Belt11B-24
INSPECTION
1. TIMING BELT
Inspect each section of the belt in detail, and if any of
the following type of damage is found, replace the belt
with a new part.
(1) Hardening of backface rubber.
The backface is glossy, marks are not made even
when a fingernail is run cross it, and there is no
elasticity.
(2) Cracking of backface rubber.
(3) Cracking of canvas.
(4) Cracking at root.
(5) Cracking on side of belt.
(6) Abnormal wear on side of belt.
NOTE
The state is normal if the cutting surface is neat as
if cut with a sharp knife.
(7) Abnormal wear of teeth.
First stages: Canvas is worn (canvas fibres are raised,
rubber is removed and whitish, and canvas seams
are unclear).
Latter stages: Canvas is worn off, and rubber is
exposed (face width is narrow).
(8) Teeth are missing.
2. AUTO TENSIONER
(1) Check for oil leaks. If any leaks are found, replace.
(2) Check whether the rod end is worn or damaged,
and replace if necessary.
(3) Measure the rod protrusion length. If not at the
standard value, replace the auto tensioner.

ENGINE LUBRICATION -General Information12-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
The lubrication method is a fully force-fed, full-flow
filtration type. The oil pump is a gear type which
is driven by the crankshaft via the timing belt.
ENGINE OILS
Health Warning
Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil
will result in the removal of natural fats from the
skin, leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis.
In addition, used engine oil contains potentiallyharmful contaminants which may cause skin cancer.
Adequate means of skin protection and washing
facilities must be provided.
Recommended Precautions
The most effective precaution is to adapt working
practices which prevent, as far as practicable, the
risk of skin contact with mineral oils, for example
by using enclosed systems for handling used engine
oil and by degreasing components, where
practicable, before handling them.
Other precautions:
DAvoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils,
particularly used engine oils.
DWear protective clothing, including impervious
gloves where practicable.
DAvoid contaminating clothes, particularly
underpants, with oil.
DDo not put oily rags in pockets, the use of
overalls without pockets will avoid this.
DDo not wear heavily soiled clothing and
oil - impregnated foot - wear. Overalls must be
cleaned regularly and kept separate from
personal clothing.DWhere there is a risk of eye contact, eye
protection should be worn, for example,
chemical goggles or face shields; in addition
an eye wash facility should be provided.
DObtain First Aid treatment immediately for open
cuts and wounds.
DWash regularly with soap and water to ensure
all oil is removed, especially before meals (skin
cleansers and nail brushes will help). After
cleaning, the application of preparations
containing lanolin to replace the natural skin
oils is advised.
DDo not use petrol, kerosine, diesel fuel, gas
oil, thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.
DUse barrier creams, applying them before each
work period, to help the removal of oil from
the skin after work.
DIf skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice
without delay.

COMPRESSOR COVER
Check the compressor cover for traces of contact with the
compressor wheel and other damage.
TURBINE WHEEL ASSEMBLY
1. Check the turbine and compressor wheel blades for bend,
burr, damage, corrosion and traces of contact on the
back side and replace if defective.
2. Check the oil passage of the turbine wheel assembly
for deposit and clogging.
3. In the case of water cooled type, check also the water
passage for deposit and clogging.
4. Check the turbine wheel and compressor wheel for light
and smooth turning.

ENGINE ELECTRICAL -Starting System16-17
STARTING SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATION
If the ignition switch is turned to the “START”
position, current flows in the pull-in and holding
coils provided inside magnetic switch, attracting
the plunger. When the plunger is attracted, the
lever connected to the plunger is actuated to
engage the starter clutch.
On the other hand, attracting the plunger will turn
on the magnetic switch, allowing the B terminaland M terminal to conduct. Thus, current flows to
engage the starter motor.
When the ignition switch is returned to the “ON”
position after starting the engine, the starter clutch
is disengaged from the ring gear.
An overrunning clutch is provided between the
pinion and the armature shaft, to prevent damage
to the starter.
