Regular Maintenance
LUBRICATION
Lubricate the unit at the locations shown in Figures 13
through 16 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 fittings and
surfaces clean both before and after lubrication.
