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 sur- faces clean both before and after lubrication.Use grease fittings when present. Disassemble parts to apply grease to moving parts when grease fittings are not installed.

Not all greases are compatible. Use automotive-type lithium grease.

*Some deck arbors have grease fittings above the mower deck, while others have grease fittings below the deck.
