3. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to effectively use the strap replacement tool for clutch and belt removal:
- Prepare the Clutch: Ensure the secondary clutch is accessible and clean from debris.
- Position the Tray: Place the provided tray securely onto the secondary clutch. The tray is designed to guide and support the tool.
- Insert and Screw the Tool: Insert the strap replacement tool into the designated opening on the clutch. Begin to screw the tool in until you hear or feel a distinct click. This indicates that the tool is properly engaged and locked into position.
- Loosen the Strap: Once the tool is locked, gently pull the handle of the tool. This action will cause the strap (drive belt) to loosen, allowing for its removal.
- Remove the Strap: Carefully remove the loosened strap from the clutch system.
- Reverse for Installation: To install a new strap, reverse the process. Ensure the new strap is correctly seated before disengaging the tool.

4. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Ekakashop Strap Replacement Tool, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the tool with a clean, dry cloth to remove any dirt, grease, or debris.
- Storage: Store the tool in a dry environment to prevent moisture accumulation, which could lead to corrosion despite its anti-rust treatment.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the tool for any signs of wear, damage, or deformation. Ensure all moving parts (if any) operate smoothly.
- Lubrication: While the tool is designed for durability, a light application of a suitable lubricant on threaded parts or pivot points (if applicable) can help maintain smooth operation over time.
