OGeneral Purpose Grease

_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 wilt shorten the life of

the self-lubricating bearings. If you feel they must be lubncated, use only a dry, powdered graphite type lubricant sparingly.
