Lubricant Specifications
Grease
Lubricate fittings with grease that meets or exceeds NLGI
Grade 2 LB specifications. Apply grease with a manual
grease gun; fill slowly until grease begins to seep out. Do
not use a compressed-air grease gun.
Synthetic Lubricants
Synthetic grease is a suitable alternative lubricant,
provided it meets or exceeds NLGI Grade 2 LB
specifications. Apply synthetic grease with a manual
grease gun; fill slowly until grease begins to seep out. Do
not use a compressed-air grease gun.
Lubricant Storage
Use of clean lubricants is essential to efficient operation
of equipment.
• Always store lubricants in approved, clean
containers.
• Store containers in an area free from dirt, filings,
moisture, and other contaminants.
• Clearly mark containers for easy identification of
contents.
• Always dispose of used containers properly.
Avoid Mixing of Lubricants
Avoid mixing different brands or types of oil. Lubricants
are specifically manufactured to meet certain
specifications and performance standards.
Mixing different brands or types of lubricants can reduce
the functionality of certain additives and interfere with the
performance of the lubricant, resulting in possible
equipment damage.
Operational Checks
!
WARNING
The operational check procedures are meant to verify the
correct operation of the control systems. Before placing
the mower back into service, all checks should be
performed to ensure that each system is working
properly.
Park Brake Check
See Figure 2-7.
Figure 2-7
1. Connect a spring scale to the park brake lever (1).
2. Pull the spring scale to engage the park brake and
record the reading.
A properly adjusted park brake will require 10 lb (4.5 kg)
of force to engage.
If the park brake does not meet specification, adjust or
repair the brake system as needed before returning the
mower to service. (See “Park Brake Check and
Adjustment” on page 7-4.)
Never attempt to operate the machine unless you
have read the Operator’s Manual and know how
to operate all controls correctly.
