Lubrication
Lubricate the unit at the locations shown in Figure 24, 25, 26,
and 27 as well as the following lubrication points:
Grease
front caster wheel axles & yokes
deck lift pivot blocks
deck lift lever pivot block
parking brake lever shaft
lower parking brake shaft
mower deck hanger linkages
mower deck spindles
Use grease fittings when present. Disassemble parts to apply
grease to moving parts when grease fittings are not installed.
Not all greases are compatible. Red grease (p/n 5022285)
is recommended, automotive-type, high-temperature, lithium
grease may be used when this is not available.
The operator platform and suspension pivot bearings (A,
Figure 28) are greased at the factory and do not require
maintenance.
Oil
ground speed control and parking brake lever pivots
deck lift pivots
discharge chute hinge
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 fitting and surfaces clean
both before and after lubrication.
