Gearbox Lubrication
The gearbox should be full (18 ounces) 0.54 liters
and not require additional lubricant unless the box
is cracked or a seal is leaking. It is recommended
that the hex oil level check plug (Figure MntP-R-
0020) be removed to check oil level after every 8
hours of operation. If required, oil should be added
until it runs out hole.
Recommended lubricant is Multi-purpose gear oil,
P/N 00786250.
NOTE: Make sure mower is level when checking oil
in the gearbox. Gearbox capacity is 1 Quart.
NOTE: Overfilling of Gearbox will cause pressure to build up and cause Grease Seals to leak.
DRIVELINE LUBRICATION
Grease Fittings are located on the Cross Assembly
of each U-Joint and on the telescoping tubes.
Grease the U-Joint after each 8 hours of use.
Figure MntP-R-0021. Do not force grease through
the Needle Cup Assemblies. Grease the
telescoping tubes after every 8 hours use. To
grease profile tube, disconnect drive from PTO and
