The motor on my Super 7 has an oil cap for lubrication. I cannot find any instructions on how often it should be oiled. The factory that made these smaller motors was apparently spun off from the parent company over 20 years ago and went out of business in the 90’s. Any informed advice much appreciated.

Cheers, Alan.

A couple of drops now and again should be okay, the oil keeps a felt ring lubricated.

This Indestructable may be useful.
