LUBRICATION
After every 10 hours of operation and/or before putting
the deck into winter storage, lubricate the spindle as-
semblies and the idler arms with 251H EP grease or an
equivalent No. 2 multipurpose lithium grease. Excess
grease will be expelled from the inverted upper seals
of the spindle assemblies. Listen for the muffled crack-
ling noise of grease being expelled through the seal to
indicate the spindle assembly is fully greased. Refer to
Figure 58.
Every 50 hours, or twice yearly, lubricate the double
pulley with 251H EP grease or an equivalent No. 2
multipurpose lithium grease. Do not over lubricate.
Refer to Figure 58.
