Lubrication
Before lubricating, repairing, or
brake, stop engine and remove key if so equipped to
prevent unintended starting.
Pivot Points & Linkage
Lubricate all the pivot points on the drive system and lift linkage
at least once a season with light oil.
Rear Wheels
The rear wheels should be removed from the axles once a
season. Lubricate the axles and rim hubs well with an all-purpose
grease before reinstalling them.
Front Wheels
Each of the front wheel axles and casters is equipped with a
grease fitting. See Fig. 6-4. Lubricate with a No. 2 multi-purpose
grease applied with a grease gun after every 25 hours of mower
operation.
Blade Timing Belt
The cutting deck spindles are driven by timing (cogged) belt,
assuring that the deck blades are always perpendicular to each
other. At least once a season, or after striking any foreign object,
check the timing belt as follows:
Remove the belt cover by removing the three screws and
washers which secure it to the frame. See Fig. 6-5.
Do not operate mower without the
belt cover installed. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury or property damage.
