Regular Maintenance
LUBRICATION
Lubricate the unit at the following lubrication points.
Grease:
• front caster wheel axles
• front caster wheel pivots
• ground speed control shaft pivot
Use grease fittings when present. Disassemble parts to
apply grease to moving parts when grease fittings are
not installed.
Not all greases are compatible. Automotive-type lithium
grease is recommended.
Oil:
• operator presence / parking brake handle pivot
• ground speed control lever pivots
• discharge chute pivots
• cutting height adjust handle pivots
• deck lift pivots
Generally, all moving metal parts should be oiled where
contact is made with other parts. Keep oil and grease
off belts and pulleys. Remember to wipe fittings and
surfaces clean both before and after lubrication.
