The bearings in the exciter assembly are splash lubricated and rotate at a very high speed (up to 5400 rpm). It is important to maintain the exciter oil at the proper level and change it regularly to ensure maximum protection.

To drain oil, remove drain plug and tip machine toward drain hole. Use a suction gun to draw oil out of the exciter case. When filling, position plate on a level surface and add oil through drain plug hole until oil is even with bottom edge of threads (a). Caution: DO NOT overfill exciter case. Excessive wear on engine and exciter bearings will result.
