Lubrication
Your PREMIER DR FIELD and BRUSH 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 Wheel Clutch Cable and provide
engine lubrication.
Supplies Needed:
•
SAE 30 Oil
1. Lubricate the Wheel Clutch Cable with SAE 30 Oil (Figure 7). 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.
Shut down the engine, remove the spark plug wire and wait 5 minutes before performing any maintenance procedure or inspection
on the Mower.
