Section 02 LUBRIFICATION AND MAINTENANCE
Sub-Section 01 (LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE CHART)
02-01-3
NO. 1 ENGINE LUBRICATION
Engine internal parts must be lubricated to protect
them from possible rust formation during the stor-
age period.
To perform the storage procedures, proceed as
follows :
Start the engine and allow it to run at idle speed
until the engine reaches its operating tempera-
ture.
WARNING : Ensure the track is free of all
particles which could be thrown out while
it is rotating. Keep hands, tools, feet and cloth-
ing clear of track. Ensure no one is standing in
close proximity to the vehicle.
Stop the engine.
All Models Except Mach Z and Formula III
To prevent fuel from draining, primer button
should be pushed all the way in.
Disconnect the outlet primer hose from the prim-
er valve (straight coupling).
1. Straight coupling
To intake manifold
Insert storage oil (P / N 496 0141 00) nozzle into
primer outlet hose.
Mach Z and Formula III Only
Remove air silencers to spray storage oil into each
carburetor bore.
All Models
Restart engine and run at idle speed.
Inject storage oil until the engine stalls or until a
sufficient quantity of oil has entered the engine
(approximately half a can).
With the engine stopped, remove the spark plug
and spray storage oil (P / N 496 0141 00) into each
cylinder.
Crank slowly 2 or 3 revolutions to lubricate cylin-
ders.
Reinstall the spark plugs and the outlet primer
hose or air silencers.
WARNING : This procedure must only be
performed in a well ventilated area. Do
not run engine during storage period.
NO. 2 FUEL STABILIZER
A fuel stabilizer (P / N 413 4086 00) can be added
in fuel tank to prevent fuel deterioration and avoid
draining fuel system for storage. Follow manufac-
turer’s instructions for proper use.
If above fuel stabilizer is not used, drain fuel sys-
tem including fuel tank and carburetor(s).
CAUTION : Fuel stabilizer should be add-
ed prior engine lubrication to ensure car-
buretor(s) protection against varnish deposit.
NO. 3 FUEL FILTER
REPLACEMENT
On all models except Élan and Alpine II, drain fuel
tank.
On all models, remove fuel line grommet from
fuel tank and pull out inlet fuel line from tank.
