Operation Manual

9.8 LUBRICATION

WARNING:

No service must be carried out before:

The engine has stopped.

The cable has been disconnected from the spark plug.

Lubricate the linkage every 10 hours of use and before long time storage. Use 10W oil.

No parts inside the gearbox are to be lubricated. All bearings and bushings are permanently lubricated and

require no maintenance.

Lubricating these parts will only result in the grease getting on to the friction wheel and disc drive plate, which

could damage the rubber clad friction wheel.

For longer term storage the above-mentioned parts should be lightly wiped with an oily rag to prevent rust.

9.9 AIR FILTER CLEANER SERVICE

A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine performance. If you operate the engine

in very dusty areas, clean the air filter more often than specified in the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.

NOTICE

Operating the engine without an air filter, or with a damaged air filter, will allow dirt to enter the

engine, causing rapid engine wear.
