Camshaft Drive Belt and Gears
The engine timing gears are driven by a flexible
rubber belt which must be renewed at intervals
determined by the severity of operating conditions.
In reasonable, temperate climate operation, renew the
belt every 120,000 km (72,000 miles) or every six
years whichever occurs earlier.
In adverse operating conditions such as work in dusty
atmospheres, high ambient temperatures and desert
and tropical zones, renew the belt every 60,000 km
(36,000 miles) or every three years whichever occurs
earlier.
CAUTION: If the drive belt is not renewed
at the correct interval, it could fail,
resulting in serious damage.
