LUBRICATION
Lubricating the Cables
If possible, lubricate 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 thin engine oil until the oil begins
to escape from the bottom.
Hint!: 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. Front Wheel Mount
Lubricate with a grease gun, one zerk for
each wheel mount, until the grease is forced
out.
Use only good quality molybdenum disulphide
grease.
Grease from well-known brand names
(petrochemical companies, etc.) usually
maintains a good quality.
2. Front Wheel Bearings
Lubricate with a grease gun, one zerk for
each set of wheel bearings, until the grease is
forced out.
Use only good quality molybdenum disulphide
grease.
Grease from well-known brand names
(petrochemical companies, etc.) usually
maintains a good quality.
3. Outer belt wheels
Lubricate using a grease gun, one zerk, until the
grease squeezes out.
Use only good quality molybdenum disulphide
grease.
Grease from well-known brand names
(petrochemical companies, etc.) usually maintains a
good quality.

that is does not come into contact with
