Lubricate the unit at the following lubrication points as
well as those shown in Figure 12.
Grease:
• front caster wheel axles
• roller straps (deck lift pivots)
• mower deck idler arm
• mower deck arbors
Use grease fittings when present. Disassemble parts to
apply grease to moving parts when grease fittings are
not installed.
Not all greases are compatible. Use automotive-type
lithium grease.

Oil:
• control handle pivots

Generally, all moving metal parts should be oiled where
contact is made with other parts. Keep oil and grease off
belts and pulleys. Remember to wipe fittings and sur-
faces clean both before and after lubrication.
