Greasing and Lubrication
Service Interval/Specification
Grease the machine after every 50 operating hours or
yearly, whichever occurs first. Grease more frequently
when operating conditions are extremely dusty or
sandy.
Grease Type: General-purpose grease.
How to Grease
1.
Disengage the power take off (PTO), set the
parking brake, and turn the ignition key to
"OFF" to stop the engine. Remove the ignition
key.
2.
Clean the grease fittings with a rag. Make sure to
scrape any paint off the front of the fitting(s).
3.
Connect a grease gun to the fitting. Pump grease
into the fittings until grease begins to ooze out of
the bearings.
4.
Wipe up any excess grease.
Where to Add Grease
1.
Lubricate the front wheels and spindles until
grease begins to ooze out of the bearings
(Fig. 25).

Lubricate the traction control pedal on
hydrostatic models (or brake and clutch pedals
on gear drive models) where they pivot on
mounting shaft (Fig. 26).
Tire Pressure
Service Interval/Specification
Maintain the air pressure in the front and rear tires as
specified. Check the pressure at the valve stem after
every 25 operating hours or monthly, whichever
occurs first (Fig. 27). Check the tires when they are
cold to get the most accurate pressure reading.
