Check the timing belt

1. In order to facilitate access Remove the air filter (see. "Removing and installing the air filter, intake silencer and air").

2. Remove the front timing cover (see. "Installation of the piston of the first cylinder to TDC of the compression stroke").

3. Inspect the condition of the timing belt. Replace the belt if the examination you will find:

- Any traces of oil on the surface of the belt;

- Signs of wear gear surface, cracks, undercuts, folds and detachment of the fabric from rubber;

- Cracks, creases, recesses or protuberances on the outer surface of the belt;

- Razlohmachivanie or bundle on the end face of the belt.

4. Check the belt tension. Correctly tensioned belt should be rotated 90 ?� from the efforts of the fingers 15-20 H (1.5-2 kg), applied in the middle between the crankshaft and camshafts. If necessary, adjust the belt tension (see. "Replacing and adjusting the tension of the timing belt and its replacement by a tension roller").

5. Install the parts in reverse order of removal.
