Section 5: Maintenance and Lubrication
Storage
At the end of the working season or when the mower will not be used for a long period, it is good practice to clean off any dirt or grease that may have accumulated on the mower and any of the moving parts. It may be necessary to scrape off compacted dirt from the bottom of the deck, then use a garden hose to thoroughly clean the surface.
Check the blades for wear and replace, or sharpen, if necessary, refer to Blade Sharpening, this section, on page 25.
Inspect the mower for loose, damaged or worn parts and adjust or replace if needed.
Lubricate as noted in the Lubrication portion of this section starting on page 30.
Release spring tension from drive belt, refer to page 21.
Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to prevent rust. Aerosol
Store mower in a clean, dry place.
Tires With Air Pressure
Tire Sealant: Heavy Duty tire sealant has been added in Air tires to help reduce air loss from punchers due to nails/thorns etc. See tire sidewall for optimum tire pressure.
NOTE: Under inflated tires can roll off of rim. Maintaining air pressure within 5 PSI of maximum tire pressure reduces the risk of tires rolling off of rim.
