General
For engine lubrication, see the engine manufacturer's
Owners Manual.
Remove the ignition key to prevent unintentional movements during lubrication.
When lubricating with an oil can, it must be filled with engine oil.
When lubricating with grease, unless otherwise stated, use a high grade molybdenum disulphide grease.
For daily use, the machine should be lubricated twice weekly.
Wipe away excess grease after lubrication.
It is important to avoid getting lubricant on the belts or the drive surfaces on the belt pulleys. Should this happen, attempt to clean them with spirits. If the belt continues to slip after cleaning, it must be replaced.
Gasoline or other petroleum products must not be used to clean belts.
