Salt Water Environment Maintenance
Þ Chain:
Many resorts utilize two chains. One is soaked in Diesel fuel and then replaces the chain on the bike. They change chains every week.
Þ Seat:
Before assembly of the bike, take the spring off of the seat and spray with two coats of rust oleum primer, and then spray it with one coat of black rust oleum paint. This will add many months to the life of the springs.
Þ Seat Post:
The seat post should be removed from the frame at least once a month and sprayed with protective oil.
Þ Handlebar Stem:
This should be removed once a month and packed with grease and then replaced.

Changing the Drive Train Lubricant
Step 1: Locate the two drain plugs (Lube Drain and Lube Vent) at the top of the propeller drive train assembly, with the propeller drive train assembly in the DOWN position.
Step 2: Use a container to catch the old lubricant.
Step 3: Place the container under the lower hole to catch the lubricant.
Step 4: Remove the drain plugs and the rudder o-rings, and rotate the propeller drive train as shown.
Step 5: When the lubricant is fully drained, rotate the propeller drive train to its DOWN position.
Step 6: Add new lubricant.
Step 7: Wet the o-ring seals with lubricant and install. Install and tighten stainless steel drain plug screws.
Be careful not to over-tighten the drain plugs. When the plug feels snug, turn one-quarter turn more.
