Searching in the 2288 pages 135Mb garage manual file...

Here is the lay-out of the belt:


The old belt removed and the new belt ready to go in its final position under tension:


Under tension:


And the old belt:


When this was done, i was thinking/dreaming of a partial lower grill block.
I needed some black plastic, or something.

So here is what you need:


Saw it in peaces:


Turn the back to the front, and use 4 zipties.
Done



The upper grill block is rated at around 80-85% blocked.
Now the lower is blocked for somewhere around 20-25%.

Hopefully it shortens warm up times, otherwise, there will be blocked even more.
