LUBRICATION

Lubricating the Cables
If possible, grease both ends of the cables and move 
the controls to end stop positions when lubricating. 
Refit 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.
Following the Lubrication Schedule
Hydraulic System, Oil Level
The hydraulic oil and filter must be replaced every 300 
hours, and at least once a year. Contact an authorized 
service workshop.
Check the oil level in the hydraulic tank daily. The level 
shall be about ¾"-1" (19 - 25 mm) below the top of the 
tank.
Check connections, hoses, and tubes for damage or 
leaks. Replace or repair if doubtful.
Changing Oil and Filters
Oil and filter changes for the hydraulic system should 
be carried out by an authorized service workshop due 
to the risk of impurities enter the system.

Checking the hydraulic oil
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 sufficient force to penetrate the 
skin, causing serious injury.
If injured by escaping fluid, 
see a doctor at once. Serious 
infection or reaction can develop 
if proper medical treatment is not 
administered immediately.
