LUBRICATION

The oil level shall lie between the markings on the dipstick. If the level is approaching the ”ADD” mark, top up the oil to the ”FULL” mark on the dipstick.

Never fill above the ”FULL” mark.

The oil is filled through the hole for the dipstick.

Use engine oil SAE 30 or SAE 10W-30 or, alternately, 10W/40, class SC–SJ

(over +32 °F/0 °C).

Over +68 °F /+20 °C SAE 40 can be used.

Use engine oil SAE 5W-20, class SC–SJ (under +32 °F/0 °C).

The engine holds 1.6 qt/1.5 liters of oil excluding the filter (including filter 1.8 qt/1.7 liters).

4.Throttle and Choke Cables, Lever Bearings

Lubricate the cable ends by the carburetor with the oil can. Move the controls to the end points and lubricate again.

The throttle cable is also lubricated by the control when the control console is removed.

The illustration shows the Kawasaki engine. On Kohler engine the cables are placed under the air filter housing.

5. Front Wheel Mount

Lubricate with a grease gun, one zerk for each wheel mount, until the grease is forced out.

Use only good quality molybdenum disulphide grease.

Grease from well-known brand names (petrochemical companies, etc.) usually maintains a good quality.
