MAINTENANCE INTERVALS CHARTS
The following charts should be considered strictly as a guide to general maintenance and lubrica-
tion intervals. You must take into consideration that weather, terrain, geographical location, and
a variety of individual uses. This time schedule should be altered to match individual owner's

then al I parts must be lubricated much more frequently that shown on the chart to avoid damage
caused by water to metal parts.
