MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION
No parts inside the gearbox are to be lubricated. All bearings and bushings are
permanently lubricated and require no maintenance. Lubricating these parts will only result
in the grease getting on to the friction wheel and disc drive plate, which could damage the
rubber clad friction wheel.
LONGTERM STORAGE
Never store the machine with gasoline in the fuel tank in a confined area with bad
ventilation. Gasoline fumes could reach open flames, sparks, cigarettes, etc.
To avoid the engine freezing and problems starting the engine, leave the engine running
for 5-10 minutes after your work has been completed. This will ensure all moisture will
disappear that would otherwise cause starting problems.
If the machine is to be stored for a longer period than 30 days, the following procedures are
recommended.
1. Mix fuel stabilizer with gasoline according to fuel stabilizer manufacturer’s directions.
2. Start the engine and let it run until it stops due to lack of fuel.
3. Change the engine oil if it has not been done for 3 months.
4. Remove the spark plug and empty a little engine oil (about 1 oz {30 mL}) in the hole.
Crank the engine a couple of times. Replace the spark plug.
5. Clean the whole machine thoroughly.
6. Inspect the machine for damage, and repair if necessary.
7. Apply rust protection to the metal surfaces.
8. Store the machine indoors if possible.
TRANSPORTING
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before loading the
machine on the transport vehicle. A hot engine and exhaust system can burn you and can
ignite some materials.
Keep the engine level when transporting to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage. Move the
fuel valve lever to the OFF position.
