Lubricating The Cables; Lubricating With Lubrication Schedule - Dixon 27 KOH/968999588 Operator's Manual

Lubricating the Cables

If possible, grease both ends of the cables and move the controls to end stop positions when lubricating. Refi t the
rubber covers on the cables after lubrication. Cables with sheaths will bind if they are not lubricated regularly. If a
cable binds, it can disrupt operation.
If a cable binds, remove the cable and hang it vertically. Lubricate it with light 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 sheath and allow the cable to hang
vertically from the bag overnight. If you do not succeed in lubricating the cable, it must be replaced.
Shaft Bushings and Linkage
Lubricate the bearing of the shafts and linkage for
brake system and steering with oil spray or oil can.

WARNING!
If a leak is suspected, use a
piece of cardboard or wood, NOT
your hands, to check for leaks.
Escaping hydraulic oil under
pressure can have suffi cient force
to penetrate the skin, causing
serious injury.
If injured by escaping fl uid,
see a doctor at once. Serious
infection or reaction can develop
if proper medical treatment is not
administered immediately.
