One fitting is located on each of the two universal joints and also on both the upper
bearing housing supporting the prop shaft and on the sprocket shaft bearing housing
shown in the photo below.
After every 75-100 hours of use, lubricate the upper bearing housing and the
universal joint fittings shown below with 2-3 pumps from a grease gun.

Tapered Roller Bearings.
Housing is sealed and grease
lubricated.
After every 75-100 hours of use,
remove the vent tube connected to
the barb fitting shown below and
pump grease into the grease fitting
until grease starts to exit the top of
the housing through the barb fitting.
Collect excess grease with a paper
towel and continue pumping grease
into the housing until clean grease
starts to expel through the barb
fitting. Replace the vent tube when
finished.
Replace the lower access
panel following the same
instructions as for the
upper panel described on
the bottom of page 15.
Add an additional amount
of Silicone to the corner
areas where the bend in
the lower access panel
mates to the frame.
Panels must be sealed
properly to keep water out
