WARNING: Before lubricating, repairing,
or inspecting, disengage all clutch levers
and stop engine. Wait until all moving
parts have come to a complete stop.
Disconnect spark plug wire and ground it
against the engine to prevent unintended
starting.
Gear Shaft
Lubricate the gear shaft with 6-n-1 grease at least once
a season or after every 25 hours of operation (available
at automotive stores, or order part number 737-0170).
Refer to Figure 9.
IMPORTANT: Keep all grease and oil off of the rubber
friction wheel and aluminum drive plate.
Lubrication
Gear Case
The gear case is lubricated with grease at the factory
and it does not require checking. If disassembled for
any reason, lubricate with 2 ounces of Shell Alvania
grease EPR00, part number 737-0168.
Engine
Refer to the separate engine manual packed with your
unit for all engine lubrication instructions.
WARNING: If any adjustments need to be
made to the engine while the engine is
running (e.g. carburetor), keep clear of all
moving parts. Be careful of muffler, engine
and other surrounding heated surfaces.
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill the gear case, since
damage to the seals could result. Be sure the vent plug
is free of grease in order to relieve pressure.
See Figure 14.
