Oil Chart; Cleaning The Mower - Cub Cadet Pro Z SurePath Auto Steer Series Operator's Manual

Apply a few drops of SAE engine oil, grease or use a spray lubricant. Apply the oil
to both sides of pivot points. Wipe off any excess. Start engine and operate mower
briefly to ensure that oil spreads evenly.
Engine Oil
• Shell Rotella® T Triple Protection™ 15W40
• Shell Rimula® 15W40
• Reference your Engine Operator's Manual for other approved options
Hydrostatic Fluid
• Drive System Fluid Plus (Shell TT-SB)

General Purpose Lubrication: Use any NLGI Grade 2 multi-purpose grease. Shell
Albida EP2 is recommended. Shell Albida EP 2 is a red-colored multi-purpose grease
designed for heavy-duty bearing applications. It has high base oil viscosity for
mechanical stability, has been formulated for high load, low-speed applications and
has excellent lubrication and corrosion protection.
2. Use a hose to spray the underside of the deck.
NOTE: Make sure that the hose is not routed under the deck and is clear of all
moving parts.
3. After cleaning your deck, return to the operator's position and engage the PTO.
Keep the deck running for a minimum of two minutes, allowing the underside
of the deck to thoroughly dry.

Cleaning the Mower

If the mower has been recently run, the engine, muffler, and surrounding
metal surfaces will be hot and can cause burns to the skin. Let the engine
cool for at least five minutes. Exercise caution to avoid burns.
Your mower should be cleaned after each use and under certain conditions, i.e. dry
conditions and/or mulching situations, additional cleaning may be necessary.
One of the best ways to keep your mower running efficiently and to reduce fire risk
is to regularly remove debris buildup from the mower. Follow the recommendations
below and contact your authorized dealer with any questions.
• Allow the machine to cool in an open area before cleaning.
• Do not use water on any part of the mower except the underside of the cutting
deck. Doing so can cause damage to the mower's spindle bearings, electrical
system and engine, leading to premature failures. The use of compressed air
and/or leaf blower will help keep the mower clean.
