Lubrication

Lubricate the unit at the locations shown in Figures 8
through 13 as well as the following lubrication points.
GREASE:
• mower deck arbors
• front wheel assemblies
• seat adjustment assembly
• front axle assembly
Use grease fittings when present. Disassemble parts to
apply grease to moving parts when grease fittings are
not installed.
Not all greases are compatible. Simplicity "Jiffy Lube"
Lithium Grease is recommended; automotive-type lithium
grease may be used when this is not available.
OIL:
• hydro linkage
• brake linkage
• deck height adjustment linkage
Generally, all moving metal parts should be oiled where
contact is made with other parts. Keep oil and grease off
belts and pulleys. Remember to wipe fittings and
surfaces clean both before and after lubrication.
