IMPORTANT:
WARNING: Particular attention must be given to tightening the drive wheel lug bolts and blade spin- dle bolts. Failure to correctly torque these items may result in the loss of a wheel or blade, which can cause serious damage or personal injury.
Torque values are given below:

Wheel (lug) bolts - front . . . .
Lug bolts only - It is recommended that these be checked after the first 2 hours of operation, initially, every 50 hours and following removal for repair or replacement.
For all other torques refer to the various tractor parts manuals for standard torque chart. See the Product Literature section of this manual for ordering information.
For engine torque values, see engine service manual.

Lubrication fittings
NOTE: After every 50 hours of normal operation, apply a good quality grease to the lubrication points listed below (refer to the Recommended Lubricants chart). When operat- ing under extremely dirty conditions, lubricate more fre- quently than every 50 hours.
•Lift cylinder
•Front Lift arm
•Power Steering Cylinder
•Brake pedal shaft
•Differential Lock pedal shaft
To lubricate these points:
1.Wipe away all old grease and dirt from the lubrication fittings to prevent dirt or foreign material from entering as new grease is applied.
2.Use a high pressure grease gun to force in the new grease. Apply pressure until clean grease oozes from each lubrication point.
3.Wipe away any excess grease.
