Virtually maintainance free. Check the rubber bushes and an occasional smear of oil over the leaves will suffice.

Hi Mike,Thanks for the info....Can I spray black paint on it ?The springs look rusty.

A good smearing with old sump oil should restore the colour and be better for the springs than paint which is only cosmetic.
