2.2.3 Control wires

Drop a little unversal oil or lubricating spray in
the ends of the control wires two or three times
a year.
This procedure must be carried out by two
persons. One lubricates and one activates the
lever
Note!
Wires on machines used in freezing
conditions should not be lubricated with
engine oil since this can lead to the
control cables seizing in the cold.
The wires on such machines should be
lubricated with a fluent, strongly
penetrating lubricant, e.g. 5-56 or WD40.

2.2.4 Tensioning arms

Lubricate the bearing points with an oil can
when each control is activated. Ideally carried
out by two persons.

2.2.5 Steering chain

The steering chain must be lubricated with
chain spray two or three times per season.
If the chains are heavily fouled: dismantle the
chains and wash them.
Refit and lubricate them.

2.2.6 Bearings

Plastic bearings, e.g. the brake pedal bearing,
hydrogear pedal bearing and steering-column
bearing, must be lubricated with grease or
lubricating spray at least once per year.
