Lubricate the unit at the locations shown in Figures 16 through 19 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. Ferris 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.
