@Refer to Maintenance "Engine" Section
IMPORTANT: Do not oil or grease the
_ivot points which have special nylon
earings. 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 lubricant
sparingly.
