Caution
If you leave the key in the ignition switch, someone could accidently start the engine and
seriously injure you or other bystanders.
Remove the key from the ignition and disconnect the wire from the spark plug before you do any
maintenance. Set the wire aside so that it does not accidentally contact the spark plug.
Lubricating the Machine
The machine has 3 grease fittings that must be lubricated
regularly with No. 2 General Purpose Lithium Base Grease.
Lubricate the front wheel bearings after every 25 hours of
operation. Lubricate the steering shaft every 100 hours.
Lubricate the following bearings and bushings:
• Front wheel bearings (Qty. 2) (Fig. 12)
• Steering shaft and sprocket (Fig. 13)
1. Wipe the grease fitting clean so that foreign matter
cannot be forced into the bearing or bushing.
2. Pump grease into the bearing or bushing.
3. Wipe up excess grease.

Note: Do not lubricate the steering chain unless it becomes
stiff because of rust. If the chain rusts, it may be lubricated
lightly with a dry-type lubricant.
