Lubricating the Cables

LUBRICATION

Lubricating the Cables

If possible, grease both ends of the cables and move the controls to end stop positions when lubricating. Refit the rubber covers on the cables after lubrication. Cables with sheaths will bind if they are not lubricated regularly. If a cable binds, it can disrupt operation.

If a cable binds, remove the cable and hang it vertically. Lubricate it with light engine oil until the oil begins to escape from the bottom.

Tip: Fill a small plastic bag with oil and tape it so that it seals against the sheath and allow the cable to hang vertically from the bag overnight. If you do not succeed in lubricating the cable, it must be replaced.

Lubricating in Accordance with the Lubrication Schedule

1. Caster wheels

Lubricate with a grease gun. One zerk for each bearing, two strokes. Use only good quality grease. See General in Lubrication.

2.Engine Oil (Briggs & Stratton) Changing the Engine Oil

The engine oil should be changed for the first time after 5-8 hours of operation. Thereafter, it shall be changed every 50 hours.

WARNING!

Engine oil can be very hot if it is drained directly after stopping the engine. Allow the engine to cool somewhat first.
