When the vehicle is driven frequently over bad roads it is advisable to grease
the king pins in between the normal
lubrication
services, that is, approxi-
mately every 1250 km (750
mi
les). Before greasing,
the nipples should be
wiped clean with a rag to prevent dirt
from being
forced into the bearings
.
Do
not allow grease to get on
to
the brake hoses and tires.
Even
small
amounts must be removed immediately.
Please
check the dust seals of the maintenance free
tie rod
ends for damage
and security at every lubrication service.
Damaged
seals should be renewed
as soon as possible.
The
accelerator, clutch and
heating
cables and the adjusting
nut for the
clutch cable should be checked for
freedom
of movement
once
a year
,
preferab ly at the beginning of the cold season.
If necessary,
clean
and
grease
the parts.
THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS
are packed with grease at the factory.
The
hub caps must
be
free from
grease.
According
to the
maintenance
chart the front wheel bearings are to be
cleaned and
repacked
with grease
as
specified
under
the heading "Lubri-
cants" every
50,000
km. (30,000 miles).
T
he brake drums must
be removed
for this purpose. Finally
t
he front wheel
bearings
must be adjusted. In order
to avoid damage to the bearings this operation should, if possible, be carried
out by a VW
Dealer.
DRIVER'S
SEAT
T
he upper and lower surfaces of the runners for the driver's seat should be
greased
lightly
to ensure
the
desired freedom of movement.
T
he runners
should be cleaned with a rag before the grease is applied.
