General Lubrication; Lubricating Wires; Lubrication Instructions According To Chart - Husqvarna Rider ProFlex 21 Operator's Manual

General
Remove the ignition key to prevent accidental movement during lubrication.
If lubricating with an oil can, fill the can with engine oil.
If lubricating with grease, use grease 503 98 96-01 or a similar chassis grease or bearing grease with good
corrosion resistance, unless otherwise specified.
If the Rider is used daily it should be lubricated twice a week.
Wipe off excess lubricant after lubrication.
It is important that lubricant does not get onto the drive surfaces of the belts or pulleys. If this happens, try to
clean it off with white spirit. If the belt continues to slip it must be replaced. Do not use petrol or other
petroleum products to clean V-belts.

Lubricating wires

Lubricate both ends of the wires, moving the controls through their full travel range while doing so. Refit the
rubber protectors over the wires after lubrication. Wires with a casing will seize up unless lubricated
regularly. If a wire seizes it can cause operating problems, such as difficulty disengaging the differential lock.
If a wire does seize up, remove it and hang it up vertically. Lubricate with light engine oil until the oil starts to
drip from the lower end. Useful hint: Fill a small plastic bag with oil, tape it tightly around the wire casing and
hang the wire vertically from the bag overnight. If this does not free up the wire then it must be replaced.
