Checking Tire Pressures
Tire pressure should be checked periodically, and maintained
at the levels shown in the Specifications chart. Note that
these pressures may differ slightly from the "Max Inflation"
stamped on the side-wall of the tires. The pressures shown
provide proper traction and extend tire life.
Lubrication
Lubricate the unit at the location shown in Figures 32, 33, 34
and as well as the following lubrication points.
Grease:
• front caster wheel axles and yokes.
• deck lift pivot blocks.
• deck lift linkages.
• mower deck spindles.
Use grease fittings when present. Disassemble parts to apply
grease to moving parts when grease fittings are not installed.
Not all greases are compatible. Red grease (p/n 5022285)
is recommended, automotive-type, high-temperature, lithium
grease may be used when this is not available.
Oil:
• control handle pivots.
• seat plate pivots.
• deck lift pivots.
• discharge chute hinge.
• parking brake lever shafts.
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 fitting and surfaces clean
both before and after lubrication
