Figure 7. Lubrication Points
Use a lithium grease of No. 2 consistency with a MOLY
(molybdenum disulfide) additive for all locations. 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. Do not
overgrease.
Daily lubrication of the driveline slip joint is necessary.
Failure to maintain proper lubrication can result in dam-
age to U-joints, gearbox, tractor PTO and/or the mower
driveline.
Disconnect driveline from the tractor.
To lubricate driveline slip joint, insert a grease gun
through shield slots (keep fingers out of slots to prevent
injury) and apply grease to grease fitting. Move drive-
line in and out to distribute grease over the entire work-
ing area.
Connect driveline to tractor.
Driveline shield bearings (12) must be greased every
eight hours. This operation requires a needle point
adapter for a grease gun. Insert the needle point into
the bearing hole and apply one good pump.
BELT REPLACEMENT (Figure 8)
One of the major causes of belt failure is improper
installation. Before a new belt is installed, check pulley
shafts and bearings for wear. Check pulley grooves for
cleanliness. Make sure spindles turn freely and without
wobble. If grooves require cleaning, use a cloth moist-
ened with a non-flammable, non-toxic degreasing
agent or commercial detergent and water.
Avoid excessive force during installation. Do not use
tools to pry belt into pulley groove. Do not roll belt over
pulleys to install. This can cause hidden damage and
premature belt failure.
