Lubrication
The (12) grease fittings on the mower should be
greased at least every 25 hours. Lubricate using No.

ed grease gun is recommended for best results.

Wipe each grease fitting with a clean rag.

The grease fitting locations are: (2) on The
front Roller (Fig. 17 ), (2) on the reel bearings
(Fig. 17), (2) on Drum Axles (Fig. 18), (3) on
Differential (Fig. 18), (2) on The reel
Countershaft Bearings (Fig. 19) and (1) on Belt
Idler Pivot (Fig. 20).
IMPORTANT: Do not apply too much pres-
sure or the grease seals will become perma-
nently damaged.
3.
Wipe off excess grease.
