7.4.16.1 Caring for the chain and all-round chain
guard
Place newspaper or paper towels underneath to
collect chain oil.
1 Lift rear wheel.
2 Turn the crank briskly in an counter clockwise
direction.
3 Use slight finger pressure to the chain oil bottle
to apply a wafer-thin thread of oil onto the
chain links through the oil hole on the upper
surface of the chain guard. The faster the crank
is turned, the thinner the threads of oil will be.
4 Remove excessive chain oil with a cloth. If you
apply too much oil, it will make the chain all the
dirtier at a later point in time.
5 Leave chain oil to penetrate into the chain links
for a few hours or overnight.
7.4.17 Caring for the battery
e
Grease plug terminals on the battery with
terminal grease or contact spray from time to
time.

spill into the frame.
