GREASING BEARINGS AND BUSHINGS

(Fig. 15-26)
The traction unit has grease fittings that must be
lubricated regularly with No. 2 General Purpose Lithium
Base Grease. If you operate the machine under normal
conditions, lubricate bearings and bushings after every
50 hours of operation. Bearings and bushings must be
lubricated daily when operating conditions are extremely
dusty and dirty. Dusty and dirty operating conditions
could cause dirt to get into the bearings and bushings,
resulting in accelerated wear. Lubricate bearings and
bushings immediately after every washing, regardless of
the interval listed.
The traction unit bearings and bushings that must be
lubricated are: Rear cutting unit pivot (Fig. 15), Front
cutting unit pivot (Fig. 16), Sidewinder cylinder ends (2)
(Model 03201 only) (Fig. 17), Steering pivot (Fig. 18),
Rear lift arm pivot and lift cylinder (2) (Fig. 19), Left
front lift arm pivot and lift cylinder (2) (Fig. 20), Right
front lift arm pivot and lift cylinder (2) (Fig. 21), Neutral
adjust mechanism (Fig. 22), Mow/Transport slide (Fig.
23), Belt tension pivot (Fig. 24) Steering cylinder (Fig.
25).
Note: If desired, an additional grease fitting may be
installed in other end of steering cylinder. Tire must be
removed, fitting installed, greased, fitting removed and
plug installed (Fig. 26).
IMPORTANT: Do not lubricate Sidewinder (model
03201) cross tube, bearing blocks are self-lubricated.
