Lubrication
Your DR PREMIER 26" ALL-TERRAIN MOWER was lubricated at the Factory.
The Spindle and Transaxle are lubricated for life and sealed at the factory. The
operator needs to periodically lubricate the Traction Drive and Blade
Engagement Cables and also provide engine lubrication.
Supplies Needed:

SAE 30 Oil
1. Lubricate the Traction Drive and Blade Engagement Cables with SAE 30 Oil
(Figure 18). Apply the lubricant into the cable housing while working the
cable back and forth a few times. You should do this at both ends of the
cables. Perform this lubrication more often in dry and dusty environments.
