I couldn't find any maintenance instructions--what do I do here? Does the black, plastic sleeve bearing need to go over the shaft as it sits inside of the ball bearing?
Hello
the black plastic bushings are spacers. They must be seated between the ball bearing and the belt pulley after assembly.
Theoretically, it looks the same everywhere. Only the lengths of the plastic bushings are different.

Thanks, good to know about the spacers. Well, this shaft (the one running left-to-right towards the front of the machine) keeps starting to come out of its alignment (so far it hasn't come out of alignment so much that I can't just push it back in, but if I leave it unattended for enough time I fear that it may pop completely out). I suppose the belts and sprockets must be misaligned somehow but I couldn't find any instructions online as to how to realign them (?)
