Finish Mower
Rev: March 2011
Lubrication Points
To ensure proper lubrication of moving parts, GXi recommends that you lubricate the following components with a high-
quality, EP2 high-temperature-based grease or equivalent. Should the conditions of operation be more severe than
normal, the lubrication interval may need to be shortened. GTR/OPE grease is the recommended lubricant.
Lubrication Point Locations
The 48-inch mower has mowers have 5 lubrication points.
Lubricate after every 50 hours of
usage
1. Front wheels (2 locations, 1 on each
wheel shaft)
2. Spindles (1 location on the 48-inch deck).
Note: The lower spindle bearing is sealed on the
bottom and open on the top. The upper spindle
bearing is sealed on both sides. Failure to frequently
replenish grease will cause premature lower
bearing failure. Frequent application of grease to
this bearing is critical to achieving long spindle life
in harsh duty environments.
3. Mower deck clutch pulley pivot
Changing Battery
When disconnecting the battery make sure to
disconnect the negative terminal first and the positive
last. When reconnecting, connect the positive first
and the negative last.
Charging Battery
Always charge battery in an open well ventilated area,
away from sparks and flames. Unplug charger before con-
necting or disconnecting from battery and always wear pro-
tective clothing and use insulated tools.
DANGER
DANGER: Battery electrolyte has sulfuric acid
which can cause severe burns and is a deadly
poison. Never drink and always avoid contact by
wearing gloves and safety glasses when servicing
the battery.
WARNING
WARNING: Do not allow battery terminals to
touch any metal parts of the mower when remov-
ing the battery. Never allow metal tools to short
between the battery terminals and metal parts of
the mower as this may cause sparks. Sparks can
also cause the battery gasses to explode which
can result in injury/death.
