Belt tension
Correct belt tension is crucial for minimising belt wear and maximising machine efficiency. To check the belt tension, first ensure
the belt drive is disengaged by turning the engagement handle anticlockwise. Then, from the fully disengaged position, gently turn
the engagement handle clockwise until you feel it start to resist. From this position, turn the engagement handle clockwise. If the
tension is set correctly, the handle should turn one full revolution clockwise before coming to a stop. If there is a difference greater
than 1/6 of a revolution either clockwise or anticlockwise from one full revolution, then the belt tension should be corrected
following the ‘adjusting belt tension’ procedure.
Adjusting belt tension
Using two 24 mm spanners, unlock the two locking nuts from
above the adjustment block on the engagement handle by
turning the top nut anti clockwise and the bottom nut
clockwise. Then move both locking nuts upward along the
thread.
Changing engine oil
Run the engine for 1-2 minutes in order to warm up the oil. Place a container underneath the engine. Remove
oil filler cap/dipstick and oil drain plug, then let the oil drain into the container, through the opening in the
chassis.
Screw the oil outlet drain plug back in and fill the engine with SAE 10W30 or SAE 10W40 through the oil filler
cap/dipstick hole. The oil capacity of the C13c and C16c are 1.1 L and 1.4 L respectively.
Recheck the oil level. It should be close to, but not above, the upper limit indicator on the dipstick. Screw the oil
filler cap/dipstick back into the hole. Dispose of the used engine oil in an environmentally sensitive way.
