Cleaning and Lubricating Instructions
The cleaning of parts in this instruction section recommends the use of kerosene for parts cleaning
which is combustible and care should be used. Always work in a well ventilated area away from fire
or open flame. When parts cleaning, always wear eye protection, rubber gloves and plastic or rubber
apron. When cleaning of parts is complete dispose of all cleaning rags and waste cleaner in proper
manner. NEVER USE GASOLINE OR ANY OTHER HIGHLY COMBUSTIBLE SUBSTANCE FOR
CLEANING PARTS.
After unit disassembly, all parts with the exception of the drive rollers #26 and “O” rings #20 should
be soaked and cleaned in kerosene to remove grease and grime. Wipe parts and allow to dry
completely before lubricating in assembly. Drive rollers #26 and “O” rings #30 should be wiped
clean only and not placed in cleaner. Rollers are prelubricated and sealed if drive bearings are
rough turning or frozen and don’t turn, replace with new parts. We recommend the purchase of three
(3) extra drive bearings #26 and three (3) extra “O” rings for replacement when necessary.
Lubrication of drive parts should be done as parts are reassembled. We recommend using a
multipurpose lithium grease NLGI #2 which is water resistant and is available in tubes and aerosol
cans.
Re-Assembly of Short Bearing Blocks
1. Replace “O” rings #30 into groove in short wheel carrier block #21. (Spring bottom on block)
2. Place drive wheels #26 in short blocks. BE SURE SPACERS #27 ARE ON EACH SIDE OF
WHEEL. Slip drive pin #24 through hole and replace retaining ring #28.
3. Lubricate inside cylindrical section of short bearing blocks #29, covering inside wall with thin film
of grease.
4. Lubricate “O” rings and lower section of wheel carrier blocks #21 and slide wheel carrier assembly
into blank untreaded end of short bearing blocks until drive wheel cut-out is flush with top of
bearing block allowing room for thrust bearing.
5. Turn assembly over and place one (1) race #33 on bottom. Lubricate thrust bearing #34 and
place on top of race. Place second race on top of thrust bearing.
6. Place Dial-A-Cable block assembly #36 on bottom of short bearing block. Insert four (4) long
hex screws #31 through holes and screw into block, tighten hex screws securely. Assembly is
complete.
