GENERAL. UPKEEP--Lubrication
Handbrake Cable Conduits
Grease nipples are fitted in the conduits, as shown in the lubrication chart, to
which the grease gun should be applied
every 5,000 miles (8,000 km.).

During the winter months it is very important to keep the cables regularly
lubricated, as this prevents the entry of water which on cold nights will freeze,
thus locking the brake cables.
When lubricating the cables, grease is forced both ways and the gun should be
pumped until grease exudes at the ends of the conduits.
WHEEL HUBS
Front Hubs
The front hubs are provided with a grease nipple, accessible when the
nave plate is removed, for lubrication purposes. However, care should
be taken when regreasing, as different types of hub grease, each
suitable by itself, are incompatible when mixed and it is necessary to
recharge the hub with grease if the previous grade is unknown.
If the owner is aware of the type of grease he has in his hubs, it is
quite permissible to replenish the grease by means of a grease gun,
provided the same type of grease is used, giving approximately five strokes
of the gun every 5,000 miles (8,000 km.).
