Lubricate Rear Axle Shafts

Service Interval: Yearly

We recommend removing the rear wheel hubs and lubri- cating the axle shafts yearly. This prevents the wheel hubs from seizing onto the axle shaft and makes future service easier.

1.Turn off the ignition, disengage the PTO.

2.Using a jack or chain hoist positioned at the center of the rear frame, carefully lift the unit up until the rear tires are approximately 1" - 2" (2.5-5 cm) off the ground.

Note: For overall unit stability during service, do not jack rear end higher than required for wheel removal.

3.Support the rear of the unit on jack stands positioned under the rear frame.

4.Remove the hardware retaining the wheel assembly to the axle (Figure 11) and lubricate the axle shaft using anti-seize compound or lithium grease.

5.Reinstall the components in reverse order of disas- sembly and lower the unit. Be sure the key (A, Figure 11) is in place in the axle keyway.
