LUBRICATION
General
For engine lubrication, see the engine manufacturer's Owners
Manual.
Remove the ignition key to prevent unintentional movements
during lubrication.
When lubricating with an oil can, it must be filled with engine
oil.
When lubricating with grease, unless otherwise stated, use a
high grade molybdenum disulphide grease.
For daily use, the machine should be lubricated twice weekly.
Wipe away excess grease after lubrication.
It is important to avoid getting lubricant on the belts or the
drive surfaces on the belt pulleys. Should this happen, attempt
to clean them with spirits. If the belt continues to slip after
cleaning, it must be replaced. Gasoline or other petroleum
products must not be used to clean belts.
12/12 Every year Lubricate with
grease gun
1/52 Every Week Filter change
1/365 Every day Oil change
Level check
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Use minimal lubrication
and remove excess lubricant so that is does not come into
contact with belts or belt pulley drive surfaces.
Transmission
The transmission is maintenance free with no need for level
checks or oil changes. If a leak occurs, replace the unit or
contact your Poulan Pro dealer.
Deck Spindles
Lower the cutting deck completely.
Lubricate with a grease gun through the access openings
in the belt shields, 2-3 strokes per spindle. If a grease gun
without rubber hose is used, the foot plate must be removed to
access the center spindle.
Wheel and Deck Zerks
Use only good quality bearing grease.
Grease from well-known brand names (petrochemical
companies, etc.) usually maintains a good quality.
Front Wheel Mount
Lubricate 3-4 strokes with a grease gun on each set of wheel
bearings.
Front Wheel Bearings
Lubricate 3-4 strokes with a grease gun on each set of wheel
bearings.
