Power Steering Belt
Refer to Figure 6-5 & Figure 6-6
Power steering belt and pump are positioned behind the
engine and are protected by a shield. Do not remove
shield except to service the belt and always replace
shield after servicing the belt.
Replace power steering belt when it shows signs of
severe cuts, tears, excessive weather checking and
cracking or burns caused by slipping. Slight raveling of
belt covering does not indicate failure. Trim ravelings with
a sharp knife.
Inspect belt pulley grooves and flanges for wear. A new
belt, or one in good condition, should never run against
bottom of pulley groove. Replace pulley when this is the
case, otherwise belt will lose power and slip excessively.
Never pry a belt to get it on a pulley as this will cut or
damage the fibers of the belt covering.
Keep oil and grease away from belts and never use belt
dressings. Any of these will destroy the belt composition in
a very short time.
!
CAUTION
Make certain to keep fingers from getting caught between belt
and pulley when rotating belt over pulley.
Replace power steering belt as follows:
1.
Prepare vehicle for maintenance as outlined in steps
1-6 on page 22.
2.
Safely secure the seat console in the raised position.
3.
Disconnect negative battery cable.
4.
Safely secure cargo box and seat console in the up
position to prevent injury.
IMPORTANT: The air-fuel mixture in carburetors
modified for high elevation is too lean when operating
at elevations below 5,000 feet. Operating engines with
modified carburetors below 5,000 feet can result in
engine overheating and serious engine damage.
Return carburetor to original factory specifications
when operating at low elevations.
