Lubrication Points
To assure proper lubrication on moving parts, it is recommended that you lubricate the following components with a high-quality EP2 high
temperature based grease or equivalent. Should the conditions of operation be more severe than normal, the lubrication interval may be
shorter than recommended. GTR/OPE grease is the recommended lubricant.
Lubrication point locations
36” belt drive mowers have 13 lubrication points
36” hydraulic drive mowers have 8 lubrication points
52” mowers have 10 lubrication points
Lubricate after every 50 hours of usage
1. Front wheel shafts (2 locations, one on each wheel
shaft)
2. Spindles (2 locations for 36” and 3 locations on 52”
mower decks). Note: the lower spindle bearing is
sealed on the bottom and open on the top. The up-
per spindle bearing is sealed on both sides. Failure
to frequently replenish grease will cause premature
lower bearing failure. Frequent application of
grease to this bearing is critical to achieving long
spindle life in harsh duty environments.
3. Mower deck idler pulley brackets (1 location for 36” and
2 locations on 52”)
4. Blade activation rod supports (2 locations: one at the
support under the fuel tank bracket and one adjacent to
the engine.)
5. Hydraulic drive system idler puller support (1 location on
hydro drive models only)
6. Belt drive system (6 locations: 2 locations on belt pulley
supports on each side of the mower; 2 on the couplings
between the transmission and the drive
shafts.
