LOCK LUBRICATION

Whenever door locks, lock cylinders, or remote control
arms are removed, they should be cleaned and lubricated
before replacement. Special Hudson "Lock Ease" lubricant
should be used to insure operation in cold weather. Ordi-
nary oils and greases are not suitable for lock mechanisms.
To prevent the remote control arm from freezing and stick-
ing, lubricate the arm under the silencer sleeve and the
outside of the sleeve that contacts the door inner panel.
