Lubrication
When performed on a regular basis, lubricating the parts of your vehicle is the least costly way of
obtaining safe and reliable vehicle operation. Added benefits and savings occur when you check
that the engine, undercarriage, and noise emission control parts are in good working order during
lubrication.
This manual explains when you should lubricate parts and what to look for when checking for wear
or damage.
Environmental Concerns and Recommendations
Whenever you see instructions in this manual to discard materials, you should attempt to reclaim
and recycle them. To preserve our environment, follow appropriate environmental rules and regu-
lations when disposing of materials.

gears) with used parts. Used parts may have been subjected to collisions or improper use and
have undetected structural damage.
