THE SPARK PLUG WIRES, KEEPING THEM AWAY FROM THE SPARK PLUGS.

1. Wipe all dirt, etc., from the grease fittings with a clean cloth (Figure 11).
2. Apply no more than three (3) pumps of quality general-purpose lithium grease with a hand-
pumped grease gun to each grease fitting, one (1) on the Chipper Side Bearing and one (1) on the
Drive Side Bearing.
