Lubrication
Lubrication is the most important procedure in servicing a vehicle. The cost of
lubricant is insignificant compared with the cost of repairs caused by neglected
lubrication. Our recommendations here are based on many years of experience.
It is impossible to avoid wear completely but wear can be decreased and prevented
to a great extend by regular and careful lubrication.
1 Chassis lubrication
The chassis should be lubricated after certain mileage, according to the instructions
in the lubrication chart at the end of this book. All the control linkages on the throttle
system, hand brake, etc, should also be sparingly lubricated.
