Maintenance
WARNING! Before performing any maintenance or
repairs, disengage the PTO, move the drive control
levers fully outward in the neutral position engaging
the parking brake, stop the engine and remove the
key to prevent unintended starting.
Engine
Refer to the Engine Manual for all engine maintenance intervals,
procedures, specifications and instructions.
Lubrication
• Using a pressure lubricating gun, lubricate the front castor
wheel axles with Cub Cadet 251H EP grease after every 10
hours of service.
• Periodically lubricate all other pivot points with a quality
lubricating oil.
Cleaning & Lubricating the Spindle Pulleys
Once a month remove the belt covers to remove any
accumulation of grass clippings from around the spindle pulleys
and V-belt. Clean more often when mowing tall, dry grass.
Every 25 hours, lubricate the deck spindles. Locate the spindle
lube fitting and using a grease gun, lubricate the spindles. The
spindle holds 2.3 ounces of grease. See Figure 6-1.
