WARNING
Any changes in rolling effort or
unusual noises must be immediately
identified and corrected. It is not
necessary to lubricate the track or
bearings. Lubricating may attract
airborne particles and may increase
the rolling resistance.
Do not use
such substances as WD40®,
silicone sprays, oil or grease.
