Greasing and Lubrication

Grease the castor wheel bearings and motion control
lever pivots every 8 operating hours. Grease more

How to Grease
1. Disengage the power take off (PTO) and turn the
ignition key to "OFF" to stop the engine.

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.

Check the oil level in the PTO gearbox every 50
operating hours. Change the oil every 500 hours or
six months, whichever occurs first.
Oil Type: SAE EP-80\90 wt. gear oil
Capacity: 16 oz. (377 ml)
1. Clean area around top and side plugs of the PTO
gearbox. Remove side plug of the gearbox and
check the level of lubrication in the gearbox.
2. If level is low, remove top plug and add until
level is up to side plug in gearbox. (Fig. 22).
3. To change oil, park the machine so the gearbox
is level, to assure the oil drains completely. Then
disengage the power take off (PTO), set the
parking brake, and turn the ignition key to
"OFF" to stop the engine. Remove the key.
4. Place a pan below the oil drain. Remove the
bottom plug (Fig. 16).
