Maintenance and care
50-Hour Maintenance
1. Fuel filter
1. Outer tube
2. Gearcase clamp bolt
3. Gearcase
4. Index bolt
1. Gearcase grease fittings
2. Fuel line
Cylinder cooling fins
Remove and clean the cylinder cover and clean dirt and debris
from the cylinder cooling fins.
Remove and replace the fuel filter
Use a piece of metal wire or the like to pick up fuel filter
through fuel tank opening.
Pull old filter from fuel line.
Install new fuel filter.
NOTE
If filter is excessive dirty or no longer fits properly, replace it.
Make sure you do not pierce the fuel line with the end of
the hooked wire. The line is delicate and can be damaged
easily.
Gearcase lubrication
To perform this operation, first remove the gearcase from the out-
er tube as follows:
1.
Loosen the gearcase clamp bolt.
2.
Remove the index bolt from the gearcase.
Do not remove the D-shaped shim washer from the
gearcase clamp. The shim washer prevents damage
from overtightening the tube clamp bolt.
3.
Slide the gearcase out of the tube. Using a grease gun,
pump lithium-base grease (about 10 grams) into the grease
fitting on the gearcase until you see old grease being purged
from the gearcase. Purged grease will be visible in the outer
tube cavity.
4.
Clean up excess grease, then reassemble the gearcase
onto the outer tube. Make sure the index bolt fits into the hole
on the outer tube. Securely tighten both bolts.
