Lubrication
Check the oil level in the transmission gearboxes

•The oil level should be between the markings on the dipstick.
•Refill as required with fully synthetic 10W/50 API SM oil or better
Knobs for setting the cutting height
Lubricate front and rear knobs with oil.
Driver seat
Fold up the seat.
Lubricate the lever for longitudinal adjustment with oil.
Lubricate the longitudinal adjustment runners with grease. Pull the seat back and forth and lubricate on both sides.
Lubricating the cables
Remove the cable´s rubber casing when lubricating.
Grease both ends of the cables and move the controls to end stop positions when lubricating.
Cables with sheaths will jam if they are not lubricated regularly. A jammed cable may cause malfunction, such as the parking braking being applied. If a cable binds, remove the cable and hang it vertically. Lubricate it with thin engine oil until the oil begins to escape from the bottom.
A tip: Fill a small plastic bag with oil and tape it so that it seals against the casing and allow the cable to hang vertically from the bag overnight. If you do not succeed in lubricating the cable, it must be replaced.
Throttle and choke cables, lever bearings
•Remove the right side cover on the lever housing (3 screws) and open the engine cover.
•Lubricate the cables’ free ends with the oilcan, even those by the engine.
•Move the controls to the end points and lubricate again.
Replace the lever housing’s side cover.
