MAINTENANCE
In general, linkage connections and other parts that have
partial rotational or sliding movement should be lubricat-
ed periodically with SAE 30 weight oil. Avoid applying
excessive amounts of oil or grease since this may cause
a build-up of dirt around the lubricated area, making sub-
sequent lubrication more difficult to accomplish.
*Use 30 Weight Engine Oil
**Use Automotive Lithium Grease
***Use Simplicity Winter Weight Worm Gear Oil
