the engine. Recheck the oil level and fill as necessary.

v-BeLT

Visually examine the V-belt (Figure 28) and determine if it

is full of tiny cracks, frayed, has pieces of rubber missing,

is peeling or otherwise damaged.
Also, examine the belt and determine if it is

oil soaked

or "

glazed " (hard shiny appearance on the sides of the

belt). Either of these two conditions can cause the belt

to run hot, which can weaken it and increase the danger

of it breaking.
If the V-belt exhibits any of the above wear conditions

replace the V-belt immediately.
