Lubrication

Each cutting unit has seven grease fittings that must be
lubricated regularly with No. 2 General Purpose Lithium
Base Grease (Fig. 41).
IMPORTANT: Lubricating cutting units immediately af-
ter washing helps purge water out of bearings and in-
creases bearing life.
1. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting units,
stop engine, engage parking brake, and remove key
from the ignition switch.
2. The grease fitting locations and quantities are as fol-
lows:
A. Two at front roller ends
B. Two at rear roller ends
C. Two at reel bearings
D. Bedknife adjuster
3. Wipe each grease fitting with a clean rag.
4. Apply grease until pressure is felt against handle.
5. Wipe excess grease away.
Note: Apply grease to reel bearing cavities until a
small amount is evident at the inboard reel seal.
