Important:
Lubricate the bearings to maintain a
slight leakage between bearings and housings.
Too much grease can cause overheating or
damage to seals.

Note:
Do not lubricate the drive chains unless they
become stiff from rust. If the chain rusts, lightly
lubricate it with a dry-type lubricant. This reduces
the likelihood of sand build-up or other top-dressing
material adhering to the chain.
