2-24 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Periodic Maintenance Procedures
Remove the drain plug [A] on the muffler.
In an open area away from combustible materials, start
the engine with the transmission in neutral.
Raise and lower engine speed while tapping on the m uf-
fler with a rubber mallet until carbon particles are purged
from the muffler.
WARNING
Do not run the engine in a closed area. Exhaust
gases contain carbon monoxide; a colorless, odor-
less, poisonous gas. Breathing exhaust gas leads
to carbon monoxide poisoning, asphyxiation, and
death.
Stop the engine.
Install the drain plug.
Converter System
Converter Drive Belt Wear Insp ection
Inspection of the drive belt is required at least every 90
days of vehicle use (average 12 mile/day) not to exceed 1
700 km (1 100 mile) or belt indicator light turn on (100 hours
of use) counted by the hour meter. More frequent inspection
is necessary if the v ehicle is subjected to hard usage.
WARNING
Neglect, abuse, or failure to maintain the transmis-
sion can result in a severely worn or damaged drive
belt locking up the transmission and wheels. This
can cause the operator to lose control and have an
accident resulting in injury or death.
Remove the torque converter cover (see Torque Con-
verter Cover in the Converter System chapter).
Measure the width [A] of the belt at several locations with
a pair of suitable straightedges [B] as shown.
If any measurements exceed the service limit, replace the
belt.
Belt Width
Standard: 29.7 30.3 m m (1.17 1.19 in.)
Service Limit: 28.0 m m (1.10 in.)
NOTE
Use the belt measuring gauge [A] in order to make easy
to inspect the drive belt width.
Special Tool - Belt Measuring Gauge: 57001-1646
Fit the drive belt [B] into the belt measuring gauge.
If the upper surface [C] of the belt lowers than the upper
surface [D] of the gauge, replace the belt.
