GILERA CAM BELT FITTING / VALVE TIMING GUIDE

- Put piston at TDC,indicated by aligning the reference mark on the generator rotor(small line on the face of the rotor rim/see arrow point) with the fixed mark(small dimple about 2 o’ clock on the gasket surface of the casing/under arrow stem) , as shown in fig. 18.

- Place the camshafts with their reference marks facing as shown in fig. 19. This operation must be carried out without actuating the valves (rotate it clockwise or counter clockwise as necessary).

- Install the timing belt and take up the slack with the tensioner pulley.

- After loosening the fastening nut, the calibrated spring will set the tensioner pulley automatically. Be sure to let the belt align on the cam pulleys by turning the crankshaft several times prior to fastening the nut. After having fastened the nut, make sure the pulley reference marks align with the fixed ones.
Torque settings – Tensioner nut 28 – 30 Nm, Rotor bolt 40 Nm.

Always replace the timing belt according to the scheduled maintenance – every 12,000 km or two years whichever comes first

The timing belt is never to come into contact with oil,petrol or grease and is to be handled with clean hands only.Avoid bending or twisting the belt.The belt must be installed by hands,that is,do not use screwdrivers or other tools.
