Regular Maintenance
Oil:
• control handle pivots
• discharge chute hinge
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 sur-
faces clean both before and after lubrication.
LUBRICATION
Lubricate the unit at the following lubrication points
shown in Figure 13.
Grease:
• front caster wheel axles
• front caster yokes
• mower deck idler arm
• mower deck arbors
Use grease fittings when present. Disassemble parts to
apply grease to moving parts when grease fittings are
not installed.
Not all greases are compatible. Use automotive-type
lithium grease.
