GENERAL UPKEEP-Lubrication
The container should not be disturbed until cartridge renewal is required
;
as the accumulated dirt on the outside of the container may fall inside
and thus be carried into the bearings when the engine is re-started.

(see Fig.

Every 6,000 miles (10,000 km.), the cam
(B)
should be smeared lightly
with engine oil.
A
pronounced squeak occurs when the cam is quite dry.
Withdraw the moulded rotor arm from the top of the spindle and apply a
few drops or
thin
machine oil around the edge of the screw
(A)
to
lubricate the cam bearings and distributor spindle.
At
the same time, place
a single drop of clean engine oil on the pivots
(C)
and
(D).
