Grease Fitting and Oil Point Lubrication
Lubricate the grease ttings and oil points after ev-
ery 25 hours of operation. Lubricate more often
when operating in dusty or dirty conditions. Use
SAE general purpose lithium or molybdenum base
grease for grease ttings and light machine oil
(SAE 10) to lubricate oil points. Lubricate the
locations shown in the Chassis and Deck
Lubrication Points illustration.
NOTE: PTO universal joints (on the deck and trac-
tor) require routine lubrication after every 25
hours of running time. Remove tractor PTO quick
disconnect tube assembly for easy access to
grease ttings.
NOTE: The best way to lubricate the PTO tube half
of the universal joint assembly is to remove it from
the tractor. See instructions for removing and install-
ing PTO quick coupler, refer to Deck Installation in
Mower Deck Installation on Tractor in the Assem
bly Instructions.
NOTE: The ball bearings on the PTO drive shaft
are sealed and do not require periodic maintenance.
