LUBRICATION
Mandrels are shipped lubricated, however we suggest each mandrel be rechecked by applying grease.
Each mandrel should be filled with grease thru the Grease Fitting located between mower blade and underside of the mower housing (Fig. 11 A). Wipe fitting clean before greasing. Use high performance, extreme pressure lubricating grease. (Amdex No. 1 EP or equivalent). Add grease until it oozes out around the cap above the blade and under the sheave. This will not damage the grease retainer. Wipe mandrel clean of excess grease. Under normal usage the mandrels should re· quire lu brication only once each season. Beyond normal usage the mandrels may re quire lubrication more often. This grease may be obtained by ordering thru your nearest Sears repair parts depart ment. Part No. 2557R.
