What kind of lubrication system does this machine use?

The 20U109 is a manually oiled machine. Unlike the SINGER 191 series which is self lubricating. The 20U109 is manual. It has small oil wicks in the needle bar area to help keep the needle bar lubed. Otherwise with light to medium use it should be oiled every 2 months in the predetermined oil marked holes in the machine.

In product description, it says: "110 volt, permanently lubricated motor, built in circuit breaker,"

I didn't do anything other than run it through. My problem was extremely dull cutting edges, so I used a combination of the lubricating sheets and aluminum foil... maybe you need to expend another lubricating sheet (if you've used the machine a lot and never lubricated before?)... I'm sorry I can't be more helpful!

It's a very simple machine. Just change the oil every 50-100 hours. The generator came with a nice oil changing kit; use it (as it is a clean operation). Warranties and warranty work will cost more than the machine is worth!

Yes I use tools to do it am going to try a water based lubricant when I install new one in a couple days

The only thing that you use is to baby oil. Argon is not used. I have the machine for sale. I used it once and it is great. I lost my lease and retired from the business. My email is Restifier@hotmail.com. My name is Ted

Only the GP15000E and the GP17500E come with full pressure lubrication which have a spin on oil filter. The GP1800,3250,5500,6500,6500E,and 7500E all have the slash sump engine as per the spec sheet I uploaded under customer images.More info is available on generac site: generac.com/Portables/GPSeries There are other series with a full pressure system too.(XP and XG) those pictures are not for all models.

dRIP use 30w oil, chain oil runs right through a good machine for the money

WD40 is not a good solution for any mechanical parts as it is NOT a lubricant. It will eventually gum up and cause even more issues. Use a good 3 in 1 oil and you'll be golden.

I generally don't use any. I have not taken it apart but it seems this pump is all polymer, so I don't think it need lubricant. I have pumped gasoline and diesel, which are both easy chemicals for this pump. I have also pumped alcohols, which are also easy. The most aggressive solvent I have pumped is ethyl formate, and the pump seemed to handle this well also. Other pumps that were for gasoline did not work for ethyl formate.

I purchased the Lifespan Fitness Silicone along with my manual treadmill. To date I haven't had to use any lubricant. I think the silicone lubricant would be better than WD 40 if you ever need a lubricant. My Phoenix treadmill runs just fine with no lubricant.

Bushings. It used to use bearings but the service tech told me that they switched about a year before I bought it. It's the weak link in an otherwise really good machine. The bushings are cheap plastic material that I had to get changed twice.

Gillermo ... you are 100%, absolutely, positively correct about WD40 ... It's not a lubricant, far from it. We used it to loosen stuck/rusted head bolts on engines. How WD40 ever got the reputation as a lubricant is beyond me. Just wanted to validate your honest answer. Peace. : )

It does not need any lubricant. It goes in and just align the holes for the screws.

It uses the same 1 1/2 Intex flex hoses that seem to come with most of it's pools. It has a full set of hoses and even new adapters that go into the pool sides. It is a much better design for the electrical parts, copper element, flow meter, and chlorine chamber, but motor started throwing a bearing after 30 days and just quit completely yesterday after 3 1/2 months of 4hr/day operation. I already had a new motor assembly sitting in garage that Intex shipped overnight when I heard the bearing noise. Hope it last more than 3 1/2 months!

Karcher makes a "pump guard" lubricant specifically for that. I would hesitate to recommend this product without knowing what materials are used in the valves and seals on your particular model.
