Filling Jetaway with lube.

[Jetmugg]

I know I should be asking Duane O. about this, but it's too late to call him now.
What is the proper procedure for filling the Jetaway with oil? (I have the oil as provided by HTP.)
Also, the front bearing is lubricated by the same oil, correct?

dont be scared if it only takes one bottle to fill it. mine took a bit less than one bottle. check it again after you run it. ive ran mine three trips. several runs at the river and two races ( 11 passes ), it doesnt leak, and its still full. never had to add anything after the initial fill. nelson#109

Then put an expansion reservoir on it and fill that 1/3-1/2. Hot oil expands. If the cavities full, it WILL go somewhere.

I have one of the screw-in reserviors installed where the grease zerk would normally be. Thanks for the tip Jer, I'll fill it about 1/3rd full in the reservior.

Been Meaning To Get An Expansion Res., But It Seems To Have Been Low On The Priority List Lately.... Thanx For Reminding Me. Nelson#109
