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
