MAINTENANCE
Lubricate chains every 40 hours or weekly, whichever
comes first. Use a teflon containing chain lubricant
such as bicycle chain lube that does not attract
dirt. Bicycle chain lube is available at any bicycle
shop or most places where bicycles are sold. Slots
A
are provided in the chain covers to allow chain
lubrication. Keeping the chains lubricated will greatly
extend the like of both the chains and the sprockets.
(Figure 1)
Lubricate the hex shaft/trunnion assembly once
a season or if moving the speed/direction lever
becomes difficult. A teflon containing lubricant such
as bicycle chain lube is recommended. To lubricate
the hex shaft the bottom cover must be removed and
the unit tipped up and to the right until it rests on the
housing. The bottom cover is held by two nuts on the
rear of the unit. (Figure 2)
Take care not to get any lubricant on either the drive
or the driven disc. Any lubrication on these parts
will cause slipping of the friction drive. Clean off any
lubricant that gets on the drive or driven parts.
