Lubrication
Lubricate the unit at the location shown in Figures 30
through 36 as well as the following lubrication points:
Grease:
• front caster wheel axles & yokes
• drive shaft pillow blocks
• deck lift pivot blocks
• mower deck spindles & idler arm
• rear pivoting axle
• hydraulic pump drive and PTO clutch idler arms
Use grease fitting when present. Disassemble parts to apply
grease to moving parts when grease fittings are not installed.
Not all greases are compatible. Red grease (p/n 5022285)
is recommended, automotive-type high temperature, lithium
grease may be used when this is not available.
Oil:
• control handle pivots
• seat plate pivots
• deck lift pivots
• discharge chute pivots
• attachment lift arm pivots
Generally, all moving metal parts should be oiled when
contact is made with other parts. Keep oil and grease off of
belts and pulleys. Remember to wipe fittings and surfaces
clean both before and after lubrication.
Lubricating the Casters:
NOTE: Casters should be lubricated annually.
1. Remove the 1/4-28 bolt (
A, Figure 31
) screwed into the
caster and install a 1/4-28 grease fitting.
2. Grease the front caster.
3. Remove the 1/4-28 grease fitting and reinstall the 1/4-28
bolt.
4. Repeat the process for the other side of the machine.
