Adjustment and replacement of the belts
After one hour of work, the belts heat and stretch. Therefore, you have to re-tension them.
To adjust the belts, firstly remove the belt guard by unscrewing the 2 nuts. Loose the 4 engine
bolts and shift the engine by using the two screws on the front.
To replace the belts, move the engine completely to the front. Adjust the belts and retighten
them by shifting the motor to the rear.
Always use a matched set of belts. Do not replace single belts.
Lubrication
The C51 uses life-
lubricated bearings. Therefore, you don’t need to lubricate them at all.
Grease the depth screw every day.
Cleaning of the machine
Your machine will last longer if you clean it thoroughly after each day of work.
