Changing Gearbox Oil

Notes on changing gear box oil in a PX 200.

• 1. Tools: rag, 11mm spanner, large flathead screwdriver (vice grips may be required as sometimes a screwdriver won't give enough leverage), container to catch oil, syringe or oil pump can with flexible nozzle (pictured below right - alternatively, a plastic tomato sauce bottle will do) and of course gear box oil

• 1. Place scooter on a level surface and place tray under oil sump plug. You may wish to start up and run the scooter engine for while in order to heat up the oil. This will assist with drainage.

• 1. Remove top screw plug. If this is tough you can use vice grips to either clamp on the screw and turn, or clamp on the screwdriver to give more leverage while pushing hard againt the end.
