Lubrication
It is important to lubricate the drive shaft of the ShockWave
™
36
with silicone cable grease after every two hours of operation.
You can purchase this silicone grease at your local hobby store.
To lubricate the drive shaft, follow these simple instructions.
Carefully note how the drive shaft and prop are factory
installed. This is important so that when you have finished
lubricating the drive shaft, you can correctly re-install the
drive shaft.
Loosen (do not remove) the retaining nut by holding the
collet with a 17mm wrench and unscrew the retaining nut
with another 17mm wrench or crescent wrench.
Carefully remove the drive shaft.
