The lubrication points in the accompanying
illustration reflect standard production models.
Quantities and locations of lube fittings, fill
plugs, drain plugs, etc. could vary, as improve-
ments in design and/or changes in machine con-
figuration warrant.
Worn grease fittings that will
not hold the gun, and fittings
with a stuck check ball, must be replaced.
Items not equipped with grease fittings
(linkages, cables, pins, levers, etc.) should be
lubricated with SAE 30 oil before the start of
each operating day, or more frequently as condi-
tions require. (See Figure 29 for locations.)
EVERY 10 HOURS
Lubricate the Drive Chain with a spray-on
motorcycle chain lube.
NOTE: Lubricating the chain when it is
warm after being used will allow the lubri-
cant to work best.
Apply grease to fittings using grease gun to
the following.
1. Rotor Bearings (2)
2. Caster Wheel Bearings (2)
NOTE: Do not over-grease lube points.
One to two pumps of grease should offer
the sufficient quantity of lubricant if the
lube schedule is followed. Excessive grease
only provides a passage for dirt to enter
the bearing races. Be sure to wipe off any
remaining grease from around the bear-
ings.
FILL POINT
Gearbox must be removed and set on its
side to check the oil level.
1. Remove Main Drive Belt and Chain
Drive.
2. Remove gearbox mounting bolts (4) and
remove gearbox from tiller.
3. Remove oil check plug from back of gear-
box. Correct oil level is at the bottom of
the check plug. Add oil if necessary.
Gearbox capacity is 13 oz. Use anti-foam
SAE 90W oil.
