Lubricate the unit at the locations shown in Figures 16
through 22 as well as the following lubrication points.
Grease:
• front caster wheel axles
• motion control pivots
• suspension a-arms
• rear deck mounts
• deck lift pivots
• deck lift foot pedal
• front pivot frame
• mower arbors
Use grease fittings when present. Disassemble parts
to apply grease to moving parts when grease fittings
are not installed.
Not all greases are compatible. Ferris Red Grease is
recommended, automotive-type high-temperature, lithi-
um grease may be used when this is not available.
Oil:
• gauge wheel brackets
• roller cross shaft
• roller location links
• 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.
