LUBRICATION INFORMATION
When lubricating telescoping PTO drives, keep
fingers out of shield access slots to prevent injury.
Remove belt shields and clean out all accumulated
grass, dirt and other debris. Heat created by grass
build-up can cause belt failure or fires to ignite.
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,
particularly when operating in sandy areas.
Figure 7 and Figure 8 show lubrication points. The
accompanying charts give the frequency of lubrication
in operating hours, based on normal operating condi-
tions. Severe or unusual conditions may require more
frequent lubrication.
Raise and lower mower after applying grease so that it
spreads over the slip joint working area.
Use a lithium grease of #2 consistency with a MOLY
(molybdenum disulfide) additive for all locations unless
otherwise noted. Be sure to clean fittings thoroughly
before attaching grease gun. When applied according
to the lubrication chart, one good pump of most guns is
sufficient. Use SAE 80W or 90W gear lube in gear-
boxes.
Daily lubrication of PTO slip joints is necessary. Failure
to maintain proper lubrication can result in damage to
U-joints, gearboxes and/or drive shafts. Raise or lower
mower until grease fittings in PTO shields are exposed.
Insert grease gun through slots and apply grease to all
sides of shafts. Always stand clear of mower and wing
arm mechanism to avoid being pinched or crushed
should the mower or wing suddenly lower.
