Husqvarna RZ 3016, Operator'S Manual

Page: 25 / 36

General
Remove the ignition key to prevent unintentional movements
during lubrication.
When lubricating with an oil can, it must be filled with engine
oil.
When lubricating with grease, unless otherwise stated, use a
high grade molybdenum disulphide grease.
For daily use, the machine should be lubricated twice weekly.
Wipe away excess grease after lubrication.
It is important to avoid getting lubricant on the belts or the
drive surfaces on the belt pulleys. Should this happen, attempt
to clean them with spirits. If the belt continues to slip after
cleaning, it must be replaced. Gasoline or other petroleum
products must not be used to clean belts.
Use only good quality bearing grease. Grease from well-
known brand names (petrochemical companies, etc.) usually
maintains a good quality.
12/12 Every year Lubricate with
grease gun
1/52 Every Week Filter change
1/365 Every day Oil change

IMPORTANT INFORMATION Use minimal lubrication
and remove excess lubricant so that is does not come into
contact with belts or belt pulley drive surfaces.
Engine
Refer to the engine manufacturer's manual for maintenance
and service instructions.
Front Wheel Mount and Bearings
Lubricate with a grease gun, one zerk for each wheel mount
and bearings until the grease is forced out.
Steering Control Shafts
Tip the driver’s seat. Lubricate with a grease gun, one zerk
for each steering control shaft with good quality molybdenum
disulphide grease, until the grease is forced out.
Transmission
The transmission is maintenance free with no need for level
checks or oil changes. If a leak occurs, replace the unit or
contact your Husqvarna dealer.
Deck Spindle
Lower the cutting deck completely. If a grease gun without
rubber hose is uses, remove the foot plate to access deck
spindle zerk. Lubricate with a grease gun, one zerk, 2-3
strokes with good quality bearing grease.
