DANGER
Stop engine and remove key from ignition before leaving operator's seat for any reason. A child or even
a pet could engage an idling machine.
The greasing points are marked on the machine by
decals showing a grease gun and grease interval in hours
of operation.
Use the recommended lubricants specified in this manual.
See Section 7.4 Recommended Fluids and Lubricants,
page 102.
1. Wipe grease fitting with a clean cloth before greasing,
to avoid injecting dirt and grit.
2. Inject grease through fitting with grease gun until
grease overflows fitting, except where noted.
3. Leave excess grease on fitting to keep out dirt.
4. Replace any loose or broken fittings immediately.
5. If fitting will not take grease, remove and clean
thoroughly. Also clean lubricant passageway. Replace
fitting if necessary.
