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/C1418P Belt Tension:
The C1318P/C1418P 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.
