Lubrication (Lubrication Points Locations) - Bush Hog HDTH5 Operator's Manual

Before operating your Finishing Mower, make sure it is properly lubricated and thoroughly
inspected. Only a minimum of time and effort is required to regularly lubricate and maintain
this machine to provide long life and trouble free operation.
Lubrication
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts, particularly when operating in sandy areas.
The illustrations below shows lubrication points. The chart gives the frequency of lubrication in
hours, based on normal operating conditions. Severe or unusual conditions may require more fre-
quent lubrication. MntP-R-0381.
Use Multi-Purpose Gear Oil EP80W-90 when required in Gearbox. Use N.L.G.I.#2 Lithium grease
for all locations requiring application using grease gun. Be sure to clean the fitting thoroughly
before using grease gun. Daily lubrication of the wing driveline slip joint is necessary. Failure to
maintain proper lubrication will result in damage to U-joints, gearbox, and/or driveshaft.
