SERVICE AND REPAIR
I~
Mix the gasoline and oil thoroughly in a clean con-
tainer kept for this purpose only. The best way to
ensure a good mix is to pour the oil into a container
with about one gallon of gasoline and mix thoroughly.
Then add additional amounts of gasoline as shown on
the Fuel Mixture Chart. Fill Ski-Daddler gas tank
from this separate container of mixed fuel. Use a
funnel with a fine-screen strainer when filling the
tank.
Lubrication
There are three lubrication areas that require atten-
tion on a regular basis. A low temperature grease
must be applied to the zerk fittings located on the
steering spindle tubes; on each bogie wheel after
approximately each 20 hours of use; and the chain
case housing which must be checked after' each 10
hours of use and No. 2 lithium bearing grease re-
placed as required.
NOTE: Do not add grease to chain case housing on
Model SDI8P21A. This unit has a self-lubricating
system.
The bearing cup retainers that hold the seal
bearings in the traction belt take-up assembly
should be repacked with No. 2 lithium bearing
grease whenever the bearings are removed during
normal maintenance. No. 2 lithium bearing grease
may also be applied to the inside of the drive
sprocket bearing retainers during normal main-
tenance.
Grease may also be applied as required to the wear-
plates and U-strap securing the steering column to
the roll bar.

Steering and Ski Assembly Alignment
Good steering ability requii'es that the skis be
properly set and aligned with the sled body when
the steering handle is placed in the straight-ahead
position. To determine that the skis are properly
aligned, measure the distance between the inside
edges of the skis at the front end and at the rear.
Properly aligned skis should toe out 0- to 1/2-inch
maximum at the front. Therefore, the overall mea-
surement at the front end of the skis should be 1/2-
inch greater than at the rear.
If
the skis or steering
mechanism are not properly set, adjust as follows.
• Place steering handle in a straight-ahead
position.
• Remove the hood and headlight assembly. Refer
to Hood Removal and Installation.
