Periodic lubrication of moving parts insures proper operation and extends

life considerably.
Lubrication type, points and intervals are indicated below.

Avoid excessive lubrication as this may cause external surfaces of hinges and bearing to collect dirt and dust.
!
If part is not lubricated using a grease gun, grease part by hand removing excess.

To grease main gear wheel bearings, first remove thrust bearings from wheel hubs, then clean surface using
solvent, apply grease and re-assemble.
