What will you do if an Automatic transmission fluid or any other lubricant was spilled on the belts attached to engine?

Step 1: Safety Precautions

- Park your vehicle in a safe location, turn off the engine, and allow it to cool down.

- Engage the parking brake and chock the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving.

- Put on gloves to protect your hands from the lubricant.

Step 2: Remove the Belt

- Locate the belt that has been contaminated with the lubricant.

- Loosen the belt tensioner and remove the belt from the engine pulleys.

Step 3: Clean the Belt

- Use a clean cloth or paper towel to wipe off as much of the lubricant as possible from the belt.

- If the belt is heavily contaminated, you may need to use a degreaser or パーツクリーナー to remove the lubricant.

- Be sure to let the belt dry completely before reinstalling it.

Step 4: Inspect the Belt

- Carefully inspect the belt for any signs of damage, such as cracks, tears, or fraying.

- If the belt is damaged, it must be replaced before operating the vehicle.

Step 5: Reinstall the Belt

- Once the belt is clean and dry, reinstall it on the engine pulleys and tension it according to the manufacturer's specifications.

Step 6: Clean the Engine

- Use a clean cloth or paper towel to wipe off any lubricant that may have spilled on the engine.

- Be sure to clean any areas where the lubricant may have come into contact with electrical components.

Step 7: Start the Engine

- Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. This will help to distribute the lubricant throughout the engine and ensure that it is operating properly.

Step 8: Check for Leaks

- After the engine has been running for a few minutes, check for any leaks from the area where the lubricant was spilled.

- If you see any leaks, tighten the belt or replace it as necessary.
