Lubrication

Changing the oil filter

The oil filter must be replaced after every 200 hours running time. Turn the old oil filter anti-clockwise to remove. If necessary, use a filter remover.

Lightly lubricate the rubber seal on the new oil filter using new oil. Fit the oil filter by turning clockwise. Turn by hand until the rubber seal is seated. Now tighten a further half turn.

Fill with new oil according to Checking the engine’s oil level. Start the engine and let it idle for about 3 minutes. Now stop it and check for signs of leakage. Fill with oil to compensate for the oil held in the new oil filter.

Checking the transmission oil level

1Remove the transmission cover. Undo the two screws (one on each side) and lift off the transmission cover.

2Check that there is oil in the transmission’s oil tank.

Rider 175 Fill if necessary with engine oil SAE 10W/30 (class SF–CC).

Rider 175 AWD Fill if necessary with engine oil SAE 10W/ 40 (class SF–CC).

The oil and filter should be changed by an authorised service representative, as described in the Workshop Manual.

Work on the system entails particular demands on cleanliness and the system must be vented before the machine is used.

Lubricating the belt adjuster

The belt adjuster should be lubricated regularly using good quality molybdenum disulphide grease*.

Lubricate using a grease gun, 1 nipple from the right-hand side under the engine’s lower belt pulley, until grease is forced out.

With daily use, lubrication should be carried out twice weekly.

General lubrication

All joints and bearings are lubricated using molybdenum disulphide grease during manufacture. Continue to lubricate using the same type of grease *. Lubricate the steering and control wires using engine oil.

Carry out this lubrication regularly; with daily use, the machine should be lubricated twice weekly.

*Grease from well-known brand names (petrochemical companies, etc.) usually maintains a good quality. The most important property is that the grease provides good protection against corrosion.
