MAINTENANCE & LUBRICATION CHARTS
6.1 GENERAL ________________________________________________________________
The mower was designed for minimum lubrication. Over
greasing will produce high loads on the bearings and
engine; thereby reducing the performance of the
machine.
All maintenance intervals must be performed more
frequently when operating in extremely dusty conditions.
1.
Always clean grease fittings before and after lubrication.
2.
Lubricate with grease that meets or exceeds NLGI
Grade 2 LB specifications. Apply grease with a
manual grease gun and fill slowly until grease
begins to seep out. Do not use compressed air.
3.
For smooth operation of pivot points and other
friction points, apply several drops of SAE 30 oil
every 50 hours or as required.
4.
To lubricate points
(L9 and L10)
, remove left
transport wheel.
Remove nut
(A)
from end of shaft and pull wheel hub
(D)
off. Remove collar
(B)
and bushing
(C)
then pack
bearing
(L10)
with lithium grease.
Remove mounting bracket
(E)
to gain access to fitting
(L9)
. Turn the traction drum if pulley
(F)
is blocking
the fitting then insert grease gun through hole and
carefully apply grease.
5.
To lubricate point
