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.

mount, until the grease is forced out.

Grease from well-known brand names (petrochemical
companies) usually maintains a good quality.
Front Wheel Bearings
lubricate with a grease gun, one zerk for each set of
wheel bearings, until the grease is forced out.
