@REFER TO Maintenance "ENGINE" SECTION

IMPORTANT: Do not oil or grease the pivot points which have special nylon

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, pow- dered graphite type lubricant sparingly.
