Lubrication; Greasing The Bearings And Bushings; Servicing The Mower-Deck Gear Box Lubricant - Toro Groundsmaster 7210 Series Operator's Manual

Lubrication

Greasing the Bearings and
Bushings
Service Interval: Every 50 hours (more often in dirty
or dusty conditions and after every
washing).
The machine has grease fittings that you must
lubricate regularly with No. 2 lithium grease. Lubricate
more often in dirty or dusty conditions because dirt
can get into the bearings and bushings and cause
accelerated wear.
1. Wipe the grease fittings clean so that foreign
matter cannot be forced into the bearing or
bushing.
2. Pump grease into the fittings.
3. Wipe off excess grease.
Note:
Improper wash-down procedures can
negatively affect bearing life. Do not wash down
the machine when it is still hot and avoid directing
high-pressure or high-volume spray at the bearings
or seals.
