Lubrication

Greasing the Bearings and
Bushings
Service Interval: Every 50 hours (more frequently when
operating conditions are dusty or dirty)
The machine has grease fittings that must be lubricated
regularly with No. 2 General Purpose Lithium Base Grease.
If the machine is operated under normal conditions, lubricate
all bearings and bushings after every 50 hours of operation.
Lubricate fittings immediately after every washing, regardless
of the interval listed.
The following machine bearings and bushings must be
lubricated:
•
Rear wheel hub (1) (Figure 41)
Figure 41
•
Castor bearing (1) (Figure 41)
•
Steering cylinder (2) (Figure 41)
•
Lift arms (3) (Figure 42)
•
Traction pedal pivot (1) (Figure 43)
1. Wipe the grease fitting clean so foreign matter cannot
be forced into the bearing or bushing.
2. Pump grease into the bearing or bushing.
3. Wipe up excess grease.
4. Apply grease to the reel motor spline shaft and onto the
lift arm when the cutting unit is removed for service.
5. Apply a few drops of SAE 30 engine oil or spray
lubricant (WD 40) daily to all pivot points after
cleaning.
Note: Refer to the Cutting Unit Operator's Manual for cutting
unit lubrication requirements.
