Grease Fitting and Oil Point Lubrication
Lubricate the grease fittings and oil points after every 25 hours of operation. Lubricate more often when operating in dusty or dirty conditions. Use SAE general purpose lithium or molybdenum base grease for grease fittings and light machine oil (SAE
10)to lubricate oil points. Lubricate the locations shown in the Chassis and Deck Lubrication Points illustration.
NOTE: PTO universal joints (on the deck and trac- tor) require routine lubrication after every 8 hours of running time.
NOTE: The best way to lubricate the PTO tube half of the universal joint assembly is to remove it from the tractor. See instructions for removing and installing PTO quick coupler, refer to Deck Installation in Mower Deck Installation on Tractor in the Assem-
bly Instructions.
