LUBRICATION SYSTEM
SECTION AI9
LUBRICATING THE CONTROL CABLES
A
The control cables can be periodically lubricated at
the exposed Joint with a light grade of oil (see
Section A2).
A
more thorough method of lubrication is that of
feeding oil into one end of the cable by means of a
reservoir. For this,
the cable can be elthe" 'dis-
connected
at the handlebar end only, or completely
removed.
The disconnected end of the cable should be
threaded through a thin
rubber stopper and the
stopper pressed Into a suitable narrow necked can
with a hole in Its base. If the can Is then inverted
and
the lubricating oil poured into It through the
hole, the oil will trickle down between the oUter
and Inner cables,
It Is best to leave the cable
In this position overnight to ensure adequate
lubritation,
SECTION A20
SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER CABLE LUBRICATION
The speedometer and tachometer cables should be
lubricated by means
of grease (see Section A2 for
correct grade). It is not necessary to remove the
cables completely, but only to disconnect them from
the Instruments, and withdraw the inner cables.
Unscrew
the union nuts at the base of both speedo-
meter and tachometer, withdraw the Inner cables.
and clean In kerosene (paraffin). Smear the surfaces
with grease
except for six Inches (15 em) nearest
to the speedometer and tachometer heads, The
cables are now ready to be inserted Into the outer
casings and eXcess grease Wiped off. Care should be
taken
that the "squared" ends of the inner cables
are located In their respective &lsquare" housings
before the union nUts are tightened, and that the
'spade' end of the tachometer cable is correctly
lotated in its driving tongue.
SECTION A21
BRAKE PEDAL SPINDLE LUBRICATION
The brake pedal spindle is carried in a boss, which
forms
part of the rear engine mounting plate, and
should be lubricated
at intervals with all.
For this purpose, a smail hole
Is drliled In the boss
and, preferably, the oil should
be applied from a
pressure all can.
