Reelmaster 4000−DPage 7 − 18Cutting Units
Lubrication
Use a hand−operated grease gun and No. 2 general
purpose grease to lubricate the eight grease fittings.
IMPORTANT:Before washing the machine, shut off
the engine and remove the key. Toro recommends
daily lubrication of reels and rollers immediately af-
ter washing the machine. This helps to minimize wa-
ter entering the reel and roller bearings. If the
cutting units are washed in the raised position be
sure to lower them to the ground after washing. This
allows water to drain from the ends of the rollers and
reel bearing housings.
1. Wipe each grease fitting with a clean rag before
greasing.
IMPORTANT:Applying too much pressure will ruin
the seals and leaking grease could cause damage to
grass.
2. Lubricate reel shaft and roller bearings daily with 3
or 4 pumps of grease. Daily lubrication of these fittings
purges water and other contaminants, increasing ser-
vice life and maintaining excellent quality−of−cut (Fig
31).
3. Lubricate floatation kit pivots (Fig. 32) and Fixed
head pivots (Fig. 33) weekly with one pump of grease.
4. Wipe excess grease from the fittings.
Note: When greasing roller bearings−grease forced
from bearings will not be visible around the roller shaft.
