Lubrication
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)

Castor bearing (1)

Steering cylinder (2)

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.
