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.
