levers fully outward in the neutral position engaging
the parking brake, stop the engine and remove the

Lubrication
•
Using a pressure lubricating gun, lubricate the front castor
wheel axles with Cub Cadet 251H EP grease after every 10
hours of service.
•
Periodically lubricate all other pivot points with a quality
lubricating oil.
Cleaning & Lubricating the Spindle Pulleys
Once a month remove the belt covers to remove any
accumulation of grass clippings from around the spindle pulleys
and V-belt. Clean more often when mowing tall, dry grass.
Every 25 hours, lubricate the deck spindles. Locate the spindle
lube fitting and using a grease gun, lubricate the spindles. The
spindle holds 2.3 ounces of grease. See Figure 6-1.
