LUBRICATION
Lubricate the unit at the locations shown in Figures 4
through 6 as well as the following lubrication points.
Grease:
• front caster wheel axles
• front caster wheel pivots
• blade spindles
• clutch plate pivots
• brake arm pivots
Use grease fittings when present. Disassemble parts to
apply grease to moving parts when grease fittings are
not installed.
Not all greases are compatible. Ferris Red Grease (P/N
22285) is recommended, automotive-type high-tempera-
ture, lithium grease may be used when this is not avail-
able.
Oil:
• operator presence handle pivots
• steering lever pivots
• clutch lock lever pivots
• discharge chute 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.
