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.
