Recoil Housing
Drain the housing periodically to remove moisture.
Counter Balancer Lubrication (400)
The counter balance oil should be checked semi-annually, espe-
cially before off season storage. If the machine is used in wet
conditions the oil should be checked more frequently. If the oil has
a milky white or gray appearance it should be changed as soon
as possible. Failure to properly maintain this important area can
result in premature wear or possible failure of the counter balanc-
er components. Always use SAE 10W30 oil.
Procedure for Adding Oil (400)
1. Remove seat and locate dipstick. Remove by loosening with
a long handled screwdriver.
2. Remove dipstick. Oil level is shown on dipstick.
3. Add SAE 10W30 oil with a transmission fluid funnel. The
recommended oil level is indicated by the knurled area on the
dipstick.
NOTE: Screw dipstick in fully and remove to check. Check with
engine at room temperature. Do not overfill. If overfilled, excess
oil will be expelled through the vent hose.
4. Reinstall dipstick. Do not over tighten.
5. Inspect vent line for kinks or obstructions.
Counter Balance Oil Changing Procedure
1. Remove seat. Locate and remove dipstick.
2. Remove drain plug and drain oil. Catch and discard used oil
properly.
3. Clean and reinstall drain plug.
4. Add SAE 10W30 oil using a transmission fluid funnel. The
recommended oil level is indicated by the knurled area on the
dipstick. The dipstick should be screwed in fully to check. Do
not overfill. If overfilled, excess oil will be expelled through the
vent hose.
5. Reinstall dipstick.
