How the TUTORO Auto works
In the past automatic chain oilers relied on being connected to
your motorcycle's electrical power or to the vacuum/ induction
side of the engine… this can be a challenge on today’s
sophisticated ECU run engines.
No such worries with the TUTORO Auto however.
The TUTORO ingeniously harnesses the energy absorbed and
damped by the motorcycle’s suspension to activate a valve
mechanism.
This internal mechanism detects the suspension's directional
changes and activates a high flow precision valve which allows oil
to exit from the reservoir into a secondary vibration damped
chamber.
These activations can occur from just a few times a minute to
hundreds a times a minute, depending on the terrain being
crossed.
However, irrespective of the number of activations, the TUTORO
outputs the same slow steady rate of oil flow regardless of the
roughness of the terrain!
How? its another clever bit of design - you see, downstream of
the secondary vibration damped chamber is a flow control
valve which throttles down oil delivery to the rate set by the
flow control valve's position.
So, when the motorcycle is moving, a controlled, specific volume
of oil is being dispensed to the chain but as soon as you stop the
oil ceases to flow.
What does all this add up to? -
Put simply it means - Precise, Automatic, Autonomous chain
lubrication with no worries about interference with your
motorcycle's sophisticated engine’s management systems.

7 KEY POINTS
Please read and take note
Before you go any further with your installation
STOP and consider these points
●Avoid install locations that get HOT
●Always use TUTORO Oil
●Never Twist the clear reservoir
●Always use the magnet supplied to prime the oiler
●Never install the oiler near any moving parts
●Keep solvents and cleaners away from the Oiler
●Always install the oiler upright
●Make sure you mount the oiler rigidly
Avoiding these pitfalls will ensure that you expect
long and trouble free service from your TUTORO
Auto oiler.
Please read on for further information.

KEY POINT 1.
Avoid installing the Auto on or near a high heat
source such as near an exhaust pipe header. High
Heat will thin the oil and make flow control difficult.
Prolonged exposure can distort and/or damage the
Auto unit.
KTM V Twin Owners - PLEASE NOTE ! Do not
install the Auto on the left hand side, the rear
cylinder exhaust header will overheat the Auto and
thin the oil, making flow rate very difficult to control.
Over time Heat Stress will also damage the Oiler unit
and lead to premature failure. KTM V Twin owners
should ALWAYS install the Auto on the RIGHT
hand side of the motorcycle.
On KTM V twins the silencer on the right hand side is much cooler than the
exhaust header pipe from the rear cylinder on the left hand side.
Long term tests in excess of 100,000 kilometres have proved the right hand side
to be a safe location - see website for install examples.

KEY POINT 2.
Only use TUTORO Chain Oil.
There maybe other oils which are compatible
with the TUTORO but there are so many oil’s
out there that the only one we can be sure is
safe to use is our own.
Important! - Some
oils and fluids
could cause
damage to the
device and/or the
“O” rings in your
chain!
8
KEY POINT 3.
Never twist/rotate the reservoir in its
socket with the black valve body.
The clear acrylic reservoir is held in the
black valve body with an O ring seal - if you
twist the two against each other you will
damage the seal and the unit will leak from
the joint
WARNING

KEY POINT 4.
Always use the magnet supplied with the
kit to prime the Auto oiler.
DO NOT touch the mechanism inside the
oiler, it is very precise and carefully set up,
it could be damaged by being forced in any
direction.
Simply place the
small magnet
provided on top
of the cap and it
will lift the
primary valve to
allow for the
system to prime
with oil.
The flow control
valve needs to be
open 4 turns
anticlockwise to
maximise flow for
this procedure.

KEY POINT 5.
Installation position - its vitally important to keep
your TUTORO out of the HAZARD AREA as indicated
in the illustration below.
Even Sport motorcycles have suspension travel of 100-
130mm(4-5”).
Installing anything within this zone of movement is
likely to result in it being impacted by the swing-arm
or chain guard which moves with it. Adventure
motorcycles have much longer suspension travel -
check your machines specifications.
HAZARD
AREA
Swing-Arm
Chain Guard
WARNING
NEVER INSTALL THE
TUTORO OILER
RESERVOIR ON THE
SWING ARM!
