LUBRICATION
Before operating the SXM54 or SXM60 mower,
make sure all indicated lubrication points have
been properly lubricated according to the
diagram.
Always wipe the fitting to be lubricated with a
clean cloth before using a grease gun. Dirt
injected through the grease fitting will damage
closely machined parts.
Use SAE multi-purpose lithium base grease on
all lubrication points. Do not allow excess grease
buildup on or around parts, especially when the
mower is used in sandy areas.
Lubricate all grease points every 25 hours.
REF. NO. DESCRIPTION 25 HRS.
