LUBRICATION
General
Remove the ignition key to prevent unintentional
movements during lubrication.
When lubricating with an oil can, it ought to be filled
with engine oil.
When lubricating with grease, unless otherwise stated,
grease 503 98 96-01 or another chassis or ball bearing
grease offering good corrosion protection shall be used.
With daily use, the Rider should be lubricated twice
weekly.
Wipe away excess grease after lubrication.
It is important to avoid getting lubricant on the belts
or the drive surfaces on the belt pulleys. Should this
happen, attempt to clean them with spirit. If the belt
continues to slip after cleaning with spirit, it must be
replaced. Petrol or other petroleum products must not
be used to clean belts.
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 bind if they are not lubricated
regularly. If a cable binds, the unit may become difficult
to operate - it may be hard to get the differential lock
out, for example.
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. 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.
Accessories
Lubrication or other maintenance of optional equipment
or accessories, see “Accessories” on page 16, is not
described in this manual. This equipment too, naturally,
requires maintenance. See the manuals for the
respective accessories for instructions.
It’s good practice to make a note of maintenance or
necessary actions preformed on this page.
