LUBRICATION
Adequate lubrication and maintenance on a
regular schedule is vital to maintaining your
CM mower. To ensure long service and
efficient operation, follow the lubrication and
maintenance schedules outlined in this section.
The use of proper fuels, oils, and filters, as well
as keeping the systems clean, will also extend
machine and component life.
ATTENTION: Always use genuine replacement
filters to ensure proper filtration of engine and
hydraulic systems.
RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS
Engine Oil -------------Service Grade CD
Transmission Oil------ISO VG46
Grease-----------------High Viscosity Lithium
Base - NLG 1 # 2
LUBRICATION FITTINGS
NOTE: After every 50 hours of normal
operation, apply a good quality grease to the
lubrication points listed below (refer to the
Recommended Lubricants chart). When
operating under extremely dirty conditions,
lubricate more frequently than every 50
hours.
• Lift cylinder
• Front Lift arm
• Power Steering Cylinder
• Brake pedal shaft
• Transmission Input Shaft
To lubricate these points:
1. Wipe away all old grease and dirt from the
lubrication fittings to prevent dirt or foreign
material from entering as new grease is
applied.
2. Use a high pressure grease gun to force in
the new grease. Apply pressure until clean
grease oozes from each lubrication point.
3. Wipe away any excess grease.
DIESEL FUEL
• Use clean, quality No. 1-D or No. 2-D fuel
(ASTM D975).
• Use No. 1-D fuel if the ambient temperature is
expected to be lower than 4°C (40°F) or if the
loader is to be used at an altitude exceeding
1524 m (500 ft.).
• Use No. 1-2 diesel fuel with a pour point of at
least -12°C (10°F) below the expected
ambient temperature to prevent fuel flow
problems in cold weather.
• Keep dirt from entering the fuel tank.
• Sulfur content of the fuel should be no more
than 0.5%.
• Sediment and water content should not
exceed 0.05%.
• Minimum cetane number is 40. Low
temperature or high altitude operation may
require use of fuel with a higher cetane
number.
• Use properly mixed winter fuel when
temperatures are extremely cold. In most
areas, diesel fuel is properly blended for
summer and winter grades as ambient
temperatures change. In winter, use winter
grade diesel fuel only. Otherwise, the fuel may
cloud and block the fuel system.
