Greasing and Lubrication

Lubricate the machine when shown on the Check Service
Reference Aid decal (Figure 29). Grease more frequently
when operating conditions are extremely dusty or sandy.
Grease Type: General-purpose grease.
How to Grease
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control levers to
the neutral locked position and set the parking brake.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving
parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
3. Clean the grease fittings with a rag. Make sure to scrape
any paint off the front of the fitting(s).
4. Connect a grease gun to the fitting. Pump grease
into the fittings until grease begins to ooze out of the
bearings.
5. Wipe up any excess grease.
Greasing the Front Caster Pivots
Lubricate the front caster pivots once a year.
1. Remove the dust cap and adjust the caster pivots.
Keep the dust cap off until greasing is done.
Refer to Adjusting the Caster Pivot Bearing in
Drive System Maintenance (page 38).
2. Remove the hex plug. Thread a grease zerk into the
hole.
3. Pump grease into the zerk until it oozes out around
the top bearing.

plug and cap.
