LUBRICATION
Lubricate the unit at the locations shown in Figures 12
through 16 as well as the following lubrication points.
Grease:
• front caster wheel axles
• deck lift pivots
• deck lift foot pedal
• mower deck idler arm
Use grease fittings when present. Disassemble parts to
apply grease to moving parts when grease fittings are
not installed.
Not all greases are compatible. Ferris Red Grease (part
#22285) is recommended, automotive-type high-temper-
ature, lithium grease may be used when this is not avail-
able.
Oil:
• control handle pivots
• floor plate hinge
• 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 fittings and
surfaces clean both before and after lubrication.
