Greasing The Bearings And Bushings - Toro 30555 Operator's Manual

Greasing the Bearings and
Bushings
The cutting unit must be lubricated regularly. If the
machine is operated under normal conditions, lubricate the
castor bearings and bushings with No. 2 general purpose
lithium base grease or molybdenum base grease after every
8 hours of operation or daily, whichever comes first. All
other bearings, bushings, and the gear box must be
lubricated after every 50 hours of operation.
1. Lubricate the following areas:
• castor spindle bushings (Fig. 17)
• castor wheel bearings (Fig. 17)
• right and left lift arm pivot pins (Fig. 18)
• blade spindle bearings (Fig. 19)

2. Position the machine and cutting unit on a level surface
and lower the cutting unit. Remove the dipstick/fill plug
from the top of the gear box (Fig. 20) and make sure
that the lubricant is between the marks on the dipstick.
If the lubricant level is low, add SAE 80–90 wt. gear
lube until the level is between the marks.
