LUBRICATING THE MOWER

Lubricate the mower as shown in Figures 20 through 22.
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 SAE 30 weight 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. Note that
these pressures differ slightly from the "Max Inflation"
stamped on the side-wall of the tire. Keeping the tires
properly inflated to these settings helps provide proper
traction, extend tire life, and improved cut quality.
