Mix the
gasoline
and oil thoroughly
in
a
clean
con-
tainer
kept
for
this
purpose
only. The
best
way
to
ensure
a good
mix
is
to
pour
the oil into a
container
with about one gallon of
gasoline
and
mix
thoroughly.
Then add additional
amounts
of
gasoline
as
shown on
the
Fuel
Mixture
Chart.
Fill
Ski-Daddler
gas
tank
from
this
separate
container
of mixed fuel. Use a
funnel with a
fine-screen
strainer
when filling the
tank.

are
three
lubrication
areas

regular
basis.

must
be applied to the
zerk
fittings
located
on the
steering
spindle
tubes; on
each
bogie wheel
after
approximately
each
20

and the chain
case
housing which
must
be
checked
after
'
each
10
hours
of
use
and No. 2

Steering
and
Ski
Assembly
Alignment
Good
steering
ability
requii'es
that
the
skis
be
properly
set
and aligned with the
sled
body when
the
steering
handle
is
placed
in
the
straight-ahead
position. To
determine
that
the
skis
are
properly
aligned,
measure
the
distance
between
the
inside
edges
of the
skis
at
the
front
end and
at
the
rear.
Properly
aligned
skis
should toe out
0-
to
1/2-inch
maximum
at
the
front.
Therefore,
the
overall
mea-
surement
at
the
front
end of the
skis
should
be
1/2-
inch
greater
than
at
the
rear.
If
the
skis
or
steering
mechanism
are
not
properly
set,
adjust
as
follows.
•
Place
steering
handle
in
a
straight-ahead
position.
• Remove the hood and
headlight
assembly.
