WARNING: If any adjustments are
made to the engine while the engine
is running (e.g. carburetor), keep

LUBRICATION
WHEELS
Oil or spray lubricant into bearings at wheels at
least once a season. Remove wheels, clean
and coat axles with a multi-purpose automotive
grease. See figure 17.
DRIVE AND SHIFTING MECHANISM
Remove rear cover. Oil any chains, sprockets,
gears, bearings, shafts, and shifting mechanism
at least once a season. Use engine oil or a
spray lubricant. Avoid getting oil on rubber fric
-
tion wheel and aluminum drive plate.
GEAR BOX
The worm gear box has been filled with grease
at the factory. If disassembled for any reason,
lubricate with 1.5 ounces of Shell Alvania
grease EPR00, part number 737-0168. Before
reassembling remove old sealant and apply
“Loctite 5699" or equivalent.
CAUTION: Do not overfill the gear box, damage
to the seals could result. Be sure the vent plug
is free of grease in order to relieve pressure.

-
tions in separate engine manual for
draining oil, be sure to protect frame
to avoid oil dripping onto transmis
-
sion parts.
Gear Shaft
Lubricate the gear (hex) shaft with a light
weight cold weather lubricant at lease once a
season or after every 25 hours of operation.
IMPORTANT: Keep all grease and oil off of the
rubber friction wheel and aluminum drive plate.
If for any reason your transmission was disas
-
sembled and the drive cable disconnected,
make sure when reassembling to route the ca-
ble correctly before reconnecting to support
bracket. See figure 18.
