Lubrication
Fill with new oil according to Checking the engine’s oil level.
Start the engine and let it idle for about 3 minutes. Now stop
it and check for signs of leakage. Fill with oil to compensate
for the oil held in the new oil filter.
Checking the transmission oil level
1 Remove the transmission cover. Undo the two screws
(one on each side) and lift off the transmission cover.
2 Check that there is oil in the transmission’s oil tank.
Rider 15V2 Fill if necessary with engine oil SAE 10W/30
(class SF–CC).
Rider 15V2 AWD. Fill if necessary with engine oil SAE
10W/40 (class SF–CC).
The oil and filter should be changed by an authorised service
representative, as described in the Workshop Manual.
Work on the system entails particular demands on
cleanliness and the system must be vented before the
machine is used.
Lubricating the belt adjuster
The belt adjuster should be lubricated regularly using good
quality molybdenum disulphide grease*.
Lubricate using a grease gun, 1 nipple from the right-hand
side under the engine’s lower belt pulley, until grease is forced
out.
With daily use, lubrication should be carried out twice weekly.
General lubrication
All joints and bearings are lubricated using molybdenum
disulphide grease during manufacture. Continue to lubricate
using the same type of grease *. Lubricate the steering and
control wires using engine oil.
Carry out this lubrication regularly; with daily use, the
machine should be lubricated twice weekly.
*Grease from well-known brand names (petrochemical
companies, etc.) usually maintains a good quality. The most
important property is that the grease provides good
protection against corrosion.
