Frequency
The required greasing frequency is dependent on the extent of use, climate and conditions.
In any situation the drive wheel should turn freely and if it does not the relevant lubrication points
should be greased. This applies to the winch and jockey wheel also.
Note: The drive chain needs lubricating with a suitable chain lubricant prior to the start of the season.
Strops
Worn strops should be checked and replaced, as wear can cause breakage under strain. It is
recommended that strops have a weekly and pre-season check.
