Lubricating the Mower

Lubricate the mower as shown in Figures 17 through
19. Be sure to include the grease fittings on the mower
idler pulley and arbors, which are located underneath the
mower deck. Always wipe the grease fittings clean
before adding grease to help prevent forcing dirt and
other wear-causing contaminants into the lubrication area.
When oil is indicated, use a medium weight (SAE 30) oil.
Brush any dirt and grass from the area to be lubricated,
and wipe lubrication points clean before applying oil. This
will ensure that oil can get into the area where it is
required.
Avoid getting grease or oil on belts and pulley when
applying lubricants, and always wipe away excess oil
and grease to prevent a rapid build-up of dirt and debris
from accumulating.

TIRE PRESSURE

Front and rear tires should be checked periodically to
ensure that proper tire pressure is maintained. Keeping
tires properly pressurized helps provide proper traction,
extend tire life, and improved cut quality.
