Lubrication

Lubricate the unit at the points shown in Figure 29, as well as
the others listed in this section.
Grease:
• front caster wheel axles
• front caster spindle bosses
• front axle center pivot
• mower blade spindles *
• mower deck idler arm
• mower deck lift motor screw (located up under
right fender)
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.
* Some blade spindles have grease fittings above the mower
deck, while others have grease fittings below the deck.
Oil:
• ground speed lever pivot points
• discharge chute hinge
• deck lift pivot points
Generally, all moving metal parts should be oiled where contact
is made with other parts. Keep oil and grease off belts and pul-
leys. Remember to wipe fittings and surfaces clean both
before and after lubrication.
