Lubrication, general information

  • Remove the power key to prevent accidental movements during lubrication.
  • Use engine oil when you lubricate with an oil can.
  • When you lubricate with grease, use a chassis or ball bearing grease that prevents corrosion. Remove unwanted grease after lubrication.
  • Lubricate 2 times a week if you operate the product daily.
  • Do not spill lubricant on the drive belts or the grooves of the belt pulleys. If you do spill, clean with alcohol. If the friction between the drive belt and the pulley is not sufficient after you clean with alcohol, replace the drive belt.

CAUTION: Do not use gasoline or other petroleum products to clean drive belts.

To lubricate cables

  • Lubricate the 2 ends of the cables and move the controls to the end positions.
  • Attach the rubber covers on the cables after lubrication.
  • Cables with casing must be lubricated regularly to prevent malfunction.
    a) Remove the cable and hang it vertically.
    b) Lubricate the cable with thin engine oil until the oil starts to release from the bottom. Replace the cable if the oil does not release from the bottom.

Note: You can fill a small plastic bag with oil and seal the plastic bag against the cable casing with tape. Let the cable hang vertically from the bag until the next day.
