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.
Shaft Bushings and Linkage
Lubricate the bearing of the shafts and
linkage for brake system and steering with oil
spray or oil can.
Lubricating in Accordance with the
Lubrication Schedule
1. 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 3/4"-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 should be carried out
by an authorized service workshop due to the
risk of impurities entering the system.

Checking the hydraulic oil
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.
