So I did the first service on my 2015 Ace 570SP and have a couple of questions.
According to my manual, there is a grease fitting on the prop(drive) shaft, one on each tie rod bushing, and one on each ball joint boot. I have already got confirmation from my dealer that the tie rod bushings and ball joint boots do not have grease fittings. I looked at the prop shaft today and no grease fitting anywhere. The manual shows one fitting but does not say which end of the shaft it is on, out of the tranny or at the front differential. Is there a grease fitting on the prop shaft? It appears that there are no grease fittings for either U-joint.
According to the manual there is a throttle cable adjuster near the engine. Searched and searched and could not find it. Any help on it’s location?
I tried to attach the PDF pages from the manual for both these questions, but no luck with that. I hope my description works.
When I changed the oil I used a long funnel and poured the new oil in the dip stick port. The filler cap is in a location where you cannot remove it or pour oil into it without pulling the plastics and rear storage shelf apart. Sometimes I just hate design engineers. They don’t have to work on these things so they just don’t care.
