Yazoo/Kees ZPKW5426 manual Wheel and Deck Zerks, Cables, Front Wheel Mount, Front Wheel Bearings

LUBRICATION

Wheel and Deck Zerks

Use only good quality bearing grease.

Grease from well-known brand names (petrochemical companies, etc.) usually maintains a good quality.

Front Wheel Mount

Remove dust cap to expose zerk. Lubricate with a grease gun until the grease is forced out around the top washer.

Front Wheel Bearings

Lubricate 3-4 strokes with a grease gun on each set of wheel bearings.

Deck Spindle

Lower the cutting deck completely.

If a grease gun without rubber hose is used, the foot plate must be removed.

Lubricate with a grease gun, 2-3 strokes per spindle.

Cables

If possible, grease both ends of the cables and move the controls to end stop positions when lubricating. Refit the rubber covers on the cables after lubrication. Cables with sheaths will bind if they are not lubricated regularly. If a cable binds, it can disrupt operation.

If a cable binds, remove the cable and hang it vertically. Lubricate it with light engine oil until the oil begins to escape from the bottom.
