Lubrication
Wheel Axles
A small amount of sewing machine or 3 in One oil should be applied to the quick
release wheel axles every 6 weeks. Take care not to get oil inside the brake hubs
or on the brake linings.
Footrest
In the event of tightness of the sliding footrest or cross shaft threads an amount
of
Nylon
or
WD40
type
lubricant
may be applied to the threads and into the slots
in the tubes immediately under the monocoque seat.
Rear Castor
The rear wheel castor fork has an M16 grub screw that is used to vary the detent
pressure on the rear wheel, which varies how much effort is required to turn the
rear castor. This typically doesn’t need
adjustment, but it may warrant tightening
or loosening slightly if the user is particularly heavy or light respectively.
