17.5.2 Re-tensioning the V-belt
the vibratory plate (M2) and the lock nuts (M1).
5. Finally reinstall the V-belt cover
17.5.3 Changing the V-belt
1. Loosen the V-belt and move it to the maximum foremost position (unscrew S).
2. Engage a cranked wrench in the locking screw of the belt.
3. Turn the wrench counterclockwise to loosen the V-belt.
4. Clean the drive wheels including the V-groove and the inside of the protective cover.
5. Tighten the new V-belt.
6. Bring the engine block into the rear position so that the V-belt yields inwards by 10 to 15
mm at finger pressure and tighten the fastening screws again.
7. Finally, reattach the V-belt protective cover.
17.6 Checking the coupling
Check the coupling at the same time as the V-belt. With the belt removed, check the outside
for seizure and the "V" groove for wear and damage with your eyes. Clean the V-groove as
required. The wear of the lining or the shoe should be checked with a running check. If the
shoe is worn, the power transmission will be insufficient and the shoe will slip.
17.7 Cleaning the Spark Plug
1. Pull out the spark plug cap and remove impurities from the outside of the spark plug.
2. Then unscrew the spark plug using the spark plug wrench.
3. Check the ceramic insulation, clean the electrodes (metal tips) and check the distance
between the contacts. It should be 0.7 to 0.8 mm.
4. Reassemble the cleaned (or replaced) spark plug and replace the spark plug cap.

3. Loosen the lock nut (M1) to move the
engine block with the screw (S).
Screw in screw S (turn to the right) =
