Lubrication
Greasing the Machine
Service Interval: Every 25 hours
Lubricate the 13 grease fittings on the mower using a No. 2
multipurpose lithium base grease. A hand operated grease
gun is recommended for best results.
The grease fitting locations are as follows:
•
2 on the front roller (Figure 17)
•
2 on the reel bearings (Figure 17)
•
2 on the drum axles (Figure 18)
•
3 on the differential (Figure 18)
•
2 on the reel countershaft bearings (Figure 19)
•
2 on the belt idler pivots (Figure 20).
1. Wipe each grease fitting with a clean rag.
2. Pump grease into each fitting until it begins to get
difficult to pump the gun.
Important: Do not apply too much pressure or
grease seals will become permanently damaged.
3. Wipe off any excess grease.
