Greasing and Lubrication
Service Interval/Specification
Grease the machine after every 50 operating hours or
yearly, whichever occurs first. Grease more frequently
when operating conditions are extremely dusty or
sandy.
Grease Type: General-purpose grease.
How to Grease
1. Disengage the power take off (PTO), set the
parking brake, and turn the ignition key to
“OFF” to stop the engine. Remove the key.
2. Clean the grease fittings with a rag. Make sure to
scrape any paint off the front of the fitting(s).
3. Connect a grease gun to the fitting. Pump grease
into the fittings until grease begins to ooze out of
the bearings.
4. Wipe up any excess grease.
Where to Add Grease
1. Lubricate the front wheels and spindles until
grease begins to ooze out of the bearings
(Fig. 14).

2. Grease rear axles with one to two pumps of No.

just inside of the rear tires on the bottom of the
transaxle (Fig. 15).
Lubricate Pivot Points
The mechanical pivot points on the rider must be
oiled after every 25 hours of operation; lubricate more
frequently when conditions are dusty or sandy.

and deck engagement linkage with light oil
(Fig. 15). Wipe up any excess oil.
