Accessories

Lubrication or other maintenance of optional equipment or
accessories is not described in this manual. This equipment
too, naturally, requires maintenance. See the manuals for the
respective accessories for instructions.

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 jam if they are not lubricated
regularly. A jammed cable may cause malfunction, such as
the parking braking being applied. 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.
A 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.
