5.18 Urethane Bushings
CAUTION!
z Bolts holding urethane bushings must remain tight.
Urethane bushings are
used throughout all Lastec
mowers in various applica-
tions, including (but not lim-
ited to) articulating deck
hinges and rocker arms. In
all cases, the bushings ride
on spacers that fit between
the rotating pieces of
framework, held tightly in
place with bolts. It is
important that the spac-
ers remain tight between
the framework at all
times. Failure to keep
these spacers tight will
result in premature wear on
the bolts, and equipment
damage.
Ensure that ALL bolts asso-
ciated with urethane bush-
ings are tight at all times.
In some cases, urethane bush-
ing applications are associated
with grease points. The grease,
in these cases, is used to pro-
tect the moving parts from cor-
rosion due to water or other
contaminants, and is not used
for friction reduction. Ensure
grease fills the cavity to prevent
infiltration.
