V-Belts - Norton Clipper C1318P Owner's Manual

For best results, bearings should be relubricated while in operation. Note:
Due caution for personal safety must be observed when servicing
rotating equipment. The grease should be pumped in slowly until a slight
bead forms around the seals. This bead, in addition to acting as an
indicator of adequate relubrication, provides additional protection against
the entry of foreign matter. If necessary to relubricate while the bearing is
idle refer to relubrication table for maximum grease capacity for the various
size bearings.

Warning: Never make adjustments to belts or pulleys while
engine is running!
The best tension for a belt drive is the lowest tension at which the belts will not
slip under full load.
To adjust the C1318P Belt Tension:
The C1318P uses a simple single point tensioning system for the belt
tensioning. The Belt Tensioning Assembly can be found behind the engine and
is located in the center of the Frame. The Belt Tensioning Device is designed to
pull or push the engine from the center which helps to reduce the Engine from
twisting during the Belt Tensioning process. This new system is designed to be
simple to install and to maintain with the tools equipped with the machine.
Insure that the Engine ON/OFF Switch is in the OFF position
and that the Spark Plug is disconnected before making any
adjustment to the Belt tension.
