Mower Lubrication

Before operating your Mower, make sure it is properly lubricated and thoroughly inspected. Only a minimum of time and effort is required to regularly lubricate and maintain this machine to provide long life and trouble free operation.

Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts, particularly when operating in sandy areas. The mower illustration shows grease and gear lube locations. All grease fittings should be greased every 8 hours of operation and the gearbox oil levels checked daily. Severe or unusual conditions may require more frequent lubrication. Gearboxes are shipped with the proper amount of Multi-Purpose Gear Oil P/N 00786250. Maintain the oil level at the check plug level (LOWER plug on the center section gearbox). LUBRICATE MOWER BEFORE INITIAL USE. Lubricate all locations noted with grease gun (Figure Mnt-FL-0048) using N.L.G.I. #2 grease.

NOTE: Lubricate roller bearings until grease is seen coming out between roller and bearing housing.
