"CRUSADER
250," "250
CLIPPER"
AND
"CRUSADER
SPORTS"
has a very low oil consumption so that
"topping
up"
is
seldom
(if
ever) necessary, the additive may all become
used up, in which case sludge formation will occur at
the normal rate.
It
is
therefore just
as
important to drain
the engine at regular intervals with a detergent oil as
with one having no detergent additive.
Y our dealer
will
advise you which makes and grades
of
oil
in your country have sufficient detergency to
necessitate the above enurr.erated precautions being
taken.
12
Lubrication
of
the
Gearbox.
The gearbox should
be
kept filled to the correct level with engine oil.
On
no
account should heavy yellow grease
be
used in the
gearbox. The tiller plug
is
situated on the top
of
the
crankcase. The screw in the middle
of
the off-side
crankcase cover should
be
removed and the gearbox
fi
lied until oil runs from the screw hole. W ait until the
oil stops running before replacing the screw. The
gearbox may
be
drained when desired by removing the
hexagon-headed drain plug situated underneath the
offside
of
the crankcase.
13
Lubrication
of
Chains.
The front chain and timing
chain are automatically lubricated, the correct quantity
of
oil being maintained in the chaincase by the oiling
system of the engine.
If
the front chaincase has been removed for any
reason, it should be replenished with about one-third of a
pint of engine
oil
before running the engine, otherwise
the chains will
not be lubricated until the oiling system
has
fi.lied
the case to the correct level.
The maintenance
of
the rear chain on the "Crusader
250"
is
very much simplified by its enclosure in a pressed
steel case. Lubricate at frequent intervals with engine
oil.
14
Grease
Gun
Lubrication.
The rear brake pedal,
gear control and speedometer drive should
be
greased
with a grease gun every
200 miles
or once a week.
The rear suspension pivot spindle which has greasers
at either end should be lubricated every
500
miles.
