Lubrication - Toro 04383 Operator's Manual

Lubrication

The traction unit 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 traction unit bearings and bushings must be
lubricated:
Rear wheel hub (1)
Castor bearing (1)
Steering cylinder (2) (Fig. 41)
Lift arms (3) (Fig. 42)
Traction pedal pivot (1) (Fig. 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.
