LUBRICATION
Lubricate the unit at the locations shown in FIgure 23
through 29 as well as the following lubrication points.
Grease:
• front caster wheel axles
• rear suspension a-arms
• rear deck mounts
• deck lift pivots
• deck lift foot pedal
• blade spindles
Use grease fittings when present. Disassemble parts
to apply grease to moving parts when grease fittings
are not installed.
Not all greases are compatible. Ferris Red Grease
(P/N 22285) is recommended, automotive-type high-
temperature, lithium grease may be used when this is
not available.
Oil:
• control handle pivots
• floor plate hinge
• discharge chute hinge
Generally, all moving metal parts should be oiled
where contact is made with other parts. Keep oil and
grease off belts and pulleys. Remember to wipe fit-
tings and surfaces clean both before and after lubri-
cation.
