MOWER DECK LUBRICATION GUIDE
NOTE: We do not recommend the use of a
pressure washer or garden hose to clean your unit.
They may cause damage to spindles; pulleys; or
bearings. The use of water will result in shortened
life and reduce serviceability.
The life of any machine depends upon the care it is
given. Proper lubrication is a very important part of
that care.
Be certain that all lubrication fittings are assembled
in place, using the lubrication illustration as a guide.
Always lubricate the deck thoroughly before taking
it to the field. Use a pressure lubricating gun.
Be sure all fittings are free from dirt and paint so the
lubricant is certain to enter the bearing.
Miscellaneous working parts not provided with
lubrication fittings should be oiled daily with a good
grade of lubricating oil.
Lubricant is cheap. Use plenty of it. Worn parts can
be expensive to replace.
Keep your supply of lubricating oil and grease
stored in clean containers, and covered to protect
from dust and dirt.
Keep the lubricating gun nozzle clean and wipe dirt
from the grease fittings before lubricating.
The symbols in the illustrations indicate the method
of application and the hourly intervals to apply the
lubricant.
Use a pressure lubricating gun
and apply 251H EP grease (or
equivalent No. 2 multi-purpose
lithium grease) sufficient to flush
out the old grease and dirt.
Lubricate at the hourly intervals
indicated on the symbols.
