Regular Maintenance

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.
LUBRICATION

shown in Figure 13.
Grease:
• front caster wheel axles

• rear suspension pivots (select models)
• roller straps (deck lift pivots)

Use grease fittings when present. Disassemble parts to
apply grease to moving parts when grease fittings are
not installed.
Not all greases are compatible. Use automotive-type
