Regular Maintenance
LUBRICATION
Lubricate the unit at the locations shown in Figures 8
through 11 as well as the following lubrication points.
Grease:
• front caster wheel axles
• front caster wheel pivots
• ground speed control shaft pivot
• deck lift shaft screw
• mower deck 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 5022285) is recommended, automotive-type
high-temperature, lithium grease may be used when
this is not available.
Oil:
• operator presence / parking brake handle
pivot
• ground speed control lever pivots
• discharge chute pivots
• cutting height adjust handle pivots
• deck lift pivots
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
fittings and surfaces clean both before and after
lubrication.
