The badge on the machine says to grease the clutch once/year. I didn't see any grease fittings. What gets greased and what's the procedure/process?

My cy states once a week. As mentioned the clutch pulley has two taper bearings, similar to auto axle bearings. The grease zert is on the back side of the pulley between pulley and head box, accessible behind the plate.
Frequency is based on use and the condition of the seals. I would say 4 pumps on your grease gun to start. It's going to be a feel thing.
I rebuilt my clutch, new bearings, seals and zert. I will be packing bearings followed by grease gun to fill grease paths. After that, I'll have to monitor and determine my own frequency. Better to over grease than not enough but both have their issues...
