confirming that the engine is stopped and
cool.
1. Disconnect the maintenance joint (1).

(without Teflon or molybdenum additives,
such as CRC 6-56 or an equivalent) into
joint hole A (2).
3. Open the throttle fully.
4. Spray the lubricant into joint hole A (2) for
3 seconds.
5. Operate the throttle lever slowly, from fully
ON to fully OFF, 3 times.
6. Repeat the step 2-5 again.
7. Perform the same lubrication procedure for
joint hole B (3).
8. Spray the lubricant to the maintenance
joint threads and the O-ring.
