GENERAL INFORMATION

Each 5000 km, or each three months need to be applied several drops of low-viscous oil or lubricant for locks on loops and latches on doors, a cowl and a luggage carrier. Latches of door locks need also to be covered with a thin layer of jellied lubricant to reduce wear and to provide the free movement. Grease locks of doors and a cowl with graphite lubricant.

Each 6 months grease loops and locks of doors, a cowl and a luggage carrier, having dug several drops of oil. Grease clamps of locks with jellied lubricant.
