after 100 hours of operation
The flexible drive is fitted with sealed and permanently lubricated
ball bearings. The rotating shaft bore must, however, be greased at
regular intervals (after approximately 100 hours of operation or every
2 years). To perform this task dismantle the flexible drive in order to
remove old grease residue from the shaft bore. Then re-lubricate the
shaft bore along its whole length with fresh, high-quality mineral gre-
ase.
4.3.3 Rigid drive downtube
The rigid drive downtube is fitted with sealed and permanently lubri-
cated ball bearings. The rotating cogs of the universal joint must,
however, be lubricated at regular intervals during use (approximately
every 2 operating hours). Lubricate the shaft at the lubrication points
provided in accordance with Diag. 7, pos. b. Only high quality mineral
oil is to be used for this purpose (engine or gearbox oil).
