(See “LUBRICATION CHART”).	12

➁ Engine oil

➀ Discharge guard hinge pin

➀ Spray lubricant

➁ See "ENGINE" in Maintenance section.

IMPORTANT: Do not oil or grease plastic wheel bearings. Viscous lubricants will attract dust and dirt that will shorten the life of the self-lubricating bearings. If you feel they must be lubricated, use only a dry, powdered graphite type lubricant sparingly.
