7. Tighten the four (4) 3/8" Engine Mounting Bolts.
8. Replace the Belt Guard and replace and tighten the 3/8" Belt Guard
Retaining Hardware.
9. Run the machine for around 15 minutes and recheck the belt tension. If
the Belts slip under load increase the belt tension.
Remember, too much tension shortens belt and bearing life!
Check the belt tension frequently during the first day of operation. Check the
belt tension periodically thereafter and make any necessary adjustments.
To align the Pulleys:
1. Review the locations of the C13PE Belt
Tensioning system before proceeding. (See
Figure: C131PE Belt Tensioning System
on page 15).
2. Remove the Belt Guard by loosening and
removing the three 3/8 Belt Guard Retaining
Bolts.
3. Line up a straight edge along the out side
face of both pulleys. (See Figure: Pulley
Alignment to the right.)
