LUBRICATION

General

Remove the ignition key to prevent unintentional movements during lubrication.
When lubricating with an oilcan, it ought to be filled with engine oil.
When lubricating with grease, unless otherwise stated, grease 503 98 96-01 or another chassis or ball
bearing grease offering good corrosion protection shall be used.
With daily use, the Rider should be lubricated twice weekly.
Wipe away excess grease after lubrication.
It is important to avoid getting lubricant on the belts or the drive surfaces on the belt pulleys. Should this
happen, attempt to clean them with spirits. If the belt continues to slip after cleaning with spirits, it must be
replaced. Petrol or other petroleum products must not be used to clean belts.

Lubricating the Cables

Grease both ends of the cables and move the controls to end stop positions when lubricating. Re-attach
the rubber covers on the cables after lubrication. Cables with sheaths will bind if they are not lubricated
regularly. If a cable binds, the unit may become difficult to operate - it may be hard to get the differential lock
out, for example.
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. Tip: Fill a small plastic bag with oil and tape it so that it seals against the casing
and allow the cable to hang vertically from the bag overnight. If you do not succeed in lubricating the cable,
it must be replaced.
