Do it as they say in the manual. Open up switch housings and hit them with Dri-Slide. It works for me. Takes about 5 minutes.

I forget the name but it is a tool that clamps on to your cable and the straw from the spray can fits in the side & you spray, it works great I will post a pic if I can.
just a couple of sprays and you can see the lube come out squirting from he other end of the cable I think I originally purchased it for my dirt bikes I have had it for years sorry I am not much help but I know its still available

Dri-slide cakes up. I used to buy dry slide, pour it out and use chain lube. Here is a good product
