CHECK / LUBRICATE FREE-HAND
LINKAGE
Check the function of the
section. It is critical for the safe operation of the unit that the controls disengage when released.
If the controls do not function properly, lubricate them. If
lubrication does not rectify the problem, see your dealer. Under no circumstances should the unit be used if the
controls are not functioning properly.
