MAINTENANCE

Counter Balance Lubrication - 400 Engines

1. Counter Balance Drain

2. Crankcase Drain

3. Recoil Drain

4. Starter Pinion Drain

The counter balance oil

should be checked semi-

annually and oil should be

added or changed as nec-

essary. The oil should be

changed annually, espe-

cially before off season

storage. If the machine is

used in wet conditions the

oil should be checked more

frequently. If the oil has a

milky appearance it should

be changed as soon as

possible. Failure to proper-

ly maintain this important

area can result in prema-

ture wear or possible failure

of the counter balance

components. Always use

SAE 10W30 oil.
