Wheel and Deck Zerks
Use only good quality bearing grease.
Grease from well-known brand names (petrochemical
companies, etc.) usually maintains a good quality.
Front Wheel Mount
Remove dust cap to expose zerk. Lubricate with a
grease gun until the grease is forced out around the
top washer.
Front Wheel Bearings
Lubricate 3-4 strokes with a grease gun on each set of
wheel bearings.

Deck spindle
Deck Spindle
Lower the cutting deck completely.
If a grease gun without rubber hose is used, the foot
plate must be removed.
Lubricate with a grease gun, 2-3 strokes per spindle.
Cables
If possible, grease both ends of the cables and move
the controls to end stop positions when lubricating.
Refit the rubber covers on the cables after lubrication.
Cables with sheaths will bind if they are not lubricated
regularly. If a cable binds, it can disrupt operation.
If a cable binds, remove the cable and hang it
vertically. Lubricate it with light engine oil until the oil
begins to escape from the bottom.
