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.
3. Throttle and Choke Cable, Lever
Bearings
Lubricate the cable end at the carburetor with
the oil can. Move the controls to the end
points and lubricate again.
The throttle cable is also lubricated at the
control when the control console is removed.
