Lubricate the Drive Chain with SAE 30 oil every 25 operating hours—more often if you operate the machine
in extremely dusty or wet conditions. Remove the Chain Cover, lubricate the Chain, and replace the Cover
(Figures 13
and
14).
NOTE:
When using the grease gun in the next steps, pump only until you feel slight resistance (1-2 pumps should
do it).
1. Grease the Fitting on each of the front Caster Wheels (Figure 15).
2. Grease the Left and Right Fitting on the Lawn Deck Frame where the Wheel Castor Spindle swivels
(Figure 16).
NOTE 1: Perform this lubrication more often in dry and dusty environments.
NOTE 2: This would also be a good time to check the air pressure in the Caster Wheel Tires (Figure 15). The
maximum Tire pressure is marked on the side of each Tire. Do not exceed the manufacturer’s
recommended maximum pressure.
