Lubrication

Refer to page 2.5-2.10 for complete lubrication information.
To prevent corrosion, always grease jackshaft and drive
shaft (clutch side) bearings with premium all season
grease. Loosen driven clutch retaining bolt and pull
clutch outward to expose bearing. Use a point type
grease gun fitting to inject grease through hole in
flangette into bearing until grease purges out inside or
outside bearing seal. Push clutch back on shaft and
replace clutch retaining bolt. Inject grease into fitting on
speedometer drive adaptor until grease purges out
inside or outside bearing seal. Lubricate both front ski
pivots at bushings and spindles. See Ill.1 and 2.
