Changing The Oil; Checking And Adjusting Steering Wires - Husqvarna Rider 111 B Workshop Manual

Changing the oil

The engine oil should be replaced after the fi rst 8
hours of running time, see "Service chart". Thereafter
it should be replaced every 50 hours of running time
(25 hours in harsh operating conditions).
WARNING!
Engine oil can be very hot if it
is drained off directly after the
engine is stopped. Therefore
allow the engine to cool down
fi rst.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Spent engine oil is hazardous to health
and must not be poured out on the
ground or in the nature, but should be
handed in to a designated place for
recycling.
Avoid skin contact and wash any spillage
with soap and water.
Drain plug on Rider 111 B/B5
Tip! When draining the engine oil use a folded
piece of cardboard to funnel the oil into the
container.
Place a container under the drain plug on the left
side of the engine.
Remove the dipstick and drain plug. Let the oil
drain into the container.
Refi t the drain plug and tighten it.
Fill with oil up to the "FULL" mark on the dipstick.
Pour the oil into the same hole the dipstick goes in.
Filling procedure, see "Delivery measures\Checking
the engine's oil level". Use engine oil as set out in
the "Specifi cations" chapter.
Run the engine until warm, then check that there
are no oil leaks from the drain plug.

Checking and adjusting steering wires

The steering is controlled by means of wires. These
can in time become slack, which implies that the
adjustment of the steering becomes altered.
Check and adjust the steering as follows:
1 Remove the frame plate by loosening the
screws. 3 screws at the front and 2 under the
seat.
2 Check the tension of the steering cables. A
correctly tensioned cable should be possible
to move with your fi ngers 10-15 mm along the
steering collar.
3 If necessary, the cables can be adjusted by
tightening the adjuster nuts on each side of the
steering collar. Do not overtension the cables.
Hold the cable, for example using an adjustable
wrench, so that it does not twist.
If only one side is tensioned, the middle position
of the steering wheel might change.
Check the wire tension on completion of the
adjustment as per item 2.
