Notes for lubricating chart
Note 1
Check that the oil reaches up to the filling plug.
Note 2
The wheel bearings are packed at the factory with a special type of
grease intended to last for the lifetime of the bearings, which, there-
fore,
do not require a change of lubricant or additional grease. This
also applies after the bearings have been reconditioned or changed, pro-
vided that they have been lubricated with a high-class multi-purpose
grease.
Note 3
Check that the fluid reaches up to the level mark.
Note 4
Lubricate the felt wick under the rotor and fill a few drops of light
engine oil into the lubricating cup.
Note 5
Check the oil level when filling up with petrol. Change the oil every
5 000 km (3 000 miles) and in spring and autumn when changing over
to another viscosity, if multigrade oil is not used. In unfavourable ope-
rating conditions the oil should be changed after every 2 500 km
(1 500 miles), see page 36.
Note 6
Have the handbrake cable lubricated with graphite grease a couple of
times a year.
Note 7
Check every 5 000 km (3 000 miles) that the oil reaches up to the filling
plug. Concerning oil change, see page 37.
Note
8
Fill the lubricating cup with light engine oil. The lubricating cup is
opened by turning the outer cap. Use an ordinary oil can, not a pres-
sure can.
Note 9
At every engine oil change check that the oil level in the centre spindle
of the carburettor or carburettors reaches up to about 6 mm
(1/4")
from
edge of the spindle. If it does not, top up to this level with oil of
the same type as that used in the engine. Where the temperature is con-
tinously below -20° C (-4° F) the use of hydraulic oil SAE 5W/10W
i
n the centre spindle is recommended.
Note 10
The oil filter should be changed every 10 000 km (6 000 miles), see
page 38.
