C. Bearings
Re lubrication type bearings must be re-lubricated weekly to assure long
life. The grease used should conform to the NLGI grade two and be free of
any chemical impurities such as free acid or free alkali, dust, rust, metal
particles or abrasives.
For best results, bearings should be re-lubricated 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 re-lubrication, provides additional protection against
the entry of foreign matter. If necessary to re-lubricate while the bearing is
idle refer to re-lubrication table for maximum grease capacity for the various
size bearings.

D. V-Belts
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 C914P Belt Tension:
The C914P uses a simple dual tensioning bolt system for the belt tensioning.
The Belt Tensioning is made by two (2) pusher Screws which can be found in
front of the Engine see
Figure:
C914P Belt Tensioning System for details.
The Belt Tensioning System is designed to push the engine from the center
which helps to reduce the Engine from twisting during the Belt Tensioning
process. This system is designed to be simple to use and to maintain with the
tools equipped with the machine.
