Figure 8. Lubrication Points (Grease)
Lubrication
Lubricate the unit at the following lubrication points as
well as those shown in Figure 8.
Grease:
• front caster wheel axles
• front caster spindle bosses
• front axle center pivot
• mower blade spindles
• mower deck idler arm
• mower deck lift motor screw (located up under
right fender)
Oil:
• ground speed control lever pivot points
• discharge chute hinge
• deck lift pivot points
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 sur-
faces clean both before and after lubrication. Use grease
fittings when present. Disassemble parts to apply grease
to moving parts when grease fittings are not installed.
Not all greases are compatible. Use automotive-type
lithium grease.
* Some blade spindles have grease fittings above the
mower deck, while others have grease fittings below
the deck.
