1. SAE 30 or 10w30 Motor Oil
2. General Purpose Grease
3. Refer to Maintenance "ENGINE" Section
IMPORTANT: Do not oil or grease the pivot
points which have special nylon bearings.
Viscous lubricants will attract dust and dirt
that will shorten the life of the self-lubricating
bearings. If you feel they must be lubricated,
use only a dry, powdered graphite type lu­
bricant sparingly.
