Lubrication
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the axle assembly
to lubricate the axle bearings.
1. Put machine on a level surface, lower cutting units,
stop the engine and remove key from ignition switch.
Block rear wheels to prevent machine from moving.
2. Slightly loosen all front wheel lug nuts. Jack both
front wheels off the ground and install jackstands or
blocks under traction unit frame (not axle tubes) to pre-
vent machine from falling. Remove both front wheels.
3. Slide the brake drum off of the axle flange (Fig. 5).
4. Lubricate the wheel bearings through the grease fit-
tings (one each wheel) with No. 2 general purpose lithi-
um base grease (Fig 6).
WARNING
Do not to overfill bearing cavity with grease. Do
not get grease on brake linings or inside brake
drum. Greasy brake linings and drums increase
vehicle stopping distance. Wipe brake linings
and drums with brake cleaner or lacquer thinner
and a clean rag if necessary.
5. Install brake drums and wheels. Tighten wheel lug
nuts to 45-55 ft-lbs. (61-75 Nm).
