Graphite
Additives in the Lubricating Oil
If this additive
is
present
in
too
large
a quantity
it
will
couse the oil
passages
in
the crankshaft to beconi'e
blocked, so
that
the oil supply to the big-end
bearing
is
interrupted. Serious
damage
to the
engine
will then
be inevitable.
In
the
case
of
engines which will be
out
of
service for
some
time
or
are
laid up for the winder, we recommend
that
when changing the oil (see page.
33)
the engine
should be flushed
out
but should not be refilled with
oil. Instead
pour
2-4
fluid ounces
of
branded
anti-
corrosive oil
through
the plug hole into the cold cylinder
.with
the
piston
at
TDC
and
the valves closed.
To
ensure
that
this anti-corrosive oil
is
evenly distributed
over
the cylinder
bore,
and
the combustion
chamber
turn the
engine
over
with the
kick
starter
several
time~
making certain first
that
the
carburettor
is
empty
and
the fuel turned off,
and
then return the piston to
TDC
when
the
valves will
be
closed.
The
engine
should
be
turned
over
every four to five
weeks. Do not
replace
the sparking plug
and
oil drain
plugs
in
order
to prevent
condensation
in
the cylinder
and
crankcase. These
openings
should be covered with
a
clean
cloth
or
a fine mesh filter
gauze.
It
is
also
advisable
to
attach a notice to remind you to
replace
the oil
drain
plug
and
fill
with
engine
oil
before
using
the machine.
