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 conducted twice a week.

General lubrication

All joints and bearings are lubricated on manufacture with molybdenum sulphide grease. Re-grease with same type of grease*. Lubricate the steering and control wires with engine oil.

The machine should be lubricated regularly, and twice a week when used daily.

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