MAINTENANCE
1. Keep all hardware tight – re-torque regularly until stable.
2. Inspect all hoses for signs of wear and replace as necessary.
3. Inspect the rubber buffers for signs of cracking – replace promptly to prevent failure.
4. The gearbox contains 0.5 litres of universal oil. This is sufficient for 12 months operation, so
annually remove the lid, pour out the old oil, check all hardware, and add 0.5 litres of new oil.
DO NOT OVERFILL. Re-seal the lid using a silicone gasket sealant.
5. Inspect the unit on a regular basis and check for oil leaks. Rectify any that are seen – and if
it is gearbox lubricant, verify that a minimum depth of 8mm is present in the gearbox.
6. All bearings are of sealed type and require no lubrication.
7. Loctite retaining compound should be used on the bolts in the rubber buffers.
8. Replace any worn pins and locking hardware as soon as wear is apparent. Note that locking
pins should be installed horizontally rather the vertically and use conventional split pins
where rotation is possible.
