5. Run the unit for several minutes and check the transmission
oil level. Add oil if necessary. See Check Hydraulic Oil Level.

Lubrication
Lubricate the unit at the locations shown in Figures 23, 24 and
25 as well as the following lubrication points.
Grease
front caster wheel axles & yokes
deck lift pivot blocks
mower deck spindles
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. Red grease (p/n 5022285) is
recommended, automotive-type, high-temperature, lithium grease
may be used when this is not available.
Oil
control handle pivots
seat plate 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.
