MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Lubrication Recommendations
Counter Balance Oil Check - 400 2-Cycle Engines
The counter balance oil should be checked semi-annually and oil
should be added or changed as needed. The oil should be changed
annually and before off season storage. If the machine is used in wet
conditions, check the oil more frequently. NOTE: If the oil has a
milky appearance it should be changed as soon as possible.
Failure to properly maintain the counter
balance lubrication can result in
premature wear or possible failure of the
counter balance components. Always
use SAE 10W30 oil.
1. Remove the seat and remove the
dipstick (1).
2. Read the oil level. If necessary, add
SAE 10W30 oil with a transmission
fluid funnel until the oil reaches the
recommended level on the dipstick
(2). NOTE: If overfilled, the
excess oil will be expelled through
the vent hose.
3. Reinstall the dipstick and reinstall
the seat.
