How to Grease
1. Disengage the power take off (PTO), set the
parking brake, lower the attachment lift, and turn
the ignition key to "STOP" to stop the engine.
Remove the key.
2. Clean the grease fittings with a cloth. Make sure
to scrape off any paint from the front of the

into the fittings until grease begins to ooze out of
the bearings.
