General
Remove the ignition key to prevent unintentional movements
during lubrication.
When lubricating with an oil can, it must be filled with engine
oil.
When lubricating with grease, unless otherwise stated, use
high grade molybdenum disulphide grease.
For daily use, the machine should be lubricated twice weekly.
Wipe away excess grease after lubrication.
It is important to avoid getting lubricant on the belts or the
drive surfaces on the belt pulleys. Should this happen, attempt
to clean them with spirits. If the belt continues to slip after
cleaning, it must be replaced. Gasoline or other petroleum
products must not be used to clean belts.
LUBRICATION
Wheel and Deck Zerks
Use only good quality bearing grease.
Grease from well-known brand names (petrochemical
companies, etc.) usually maintains a good quality.
Front Wheel Mount
Remove dust cap to expose zerk. Lubricate with a grease gun
until the grease is forced out around the top washer.
Front Wheel Bearings
Lubricate 3-4 strokes with a grease gun on each set of wheel
bearings.
Deck Spindles
Lower the cutting deck completely.
If a grease gun without rubber hose is used, the foot plate
must be removed to access the center spindle.
Lubricate with a grease gun, 2-3 strokes per spindle.
