Lubrication

The machine has grease fittings that must be lubricated
regularly with No. 2 General Purpose Lithium Base

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)
• 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.
