LUBRICATION
Lubricating the Cables
If possible, grease both ends of the cable and move the controls to end stop positions when lubricating.
Refit the rubber covers on the cable 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 thin 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.
