Figure 8. Lubrication Points (Grease)

Lubrication

Lubricate the unit at the following lubrication points as

well as those shown in Figure 8.

Grease:

• front caster wheel axles

• front caster spindle bosses

• front axle center pivot

• mower blade spindles

• mower deck idler arm

• mower deck lift motor screw (located up under

right fender)

Oil:

• ground speed control lever pivot points

• discharge chute hinge

Generally, all moving metal parts should be oiled where

contact is made with other parts. Keep oil and grease off

belts and pulleys. Remember to wipe fittings and sur-

faces clean both before and after lubrication. Use grease

fittings when present. Disassemble parts to apply grease

to moving parts when grease fittings are not installed.

Not all greases are compatible. Use automotive-type

lithium grease.

* Some blade spindles have grease fittings above the

mower deck, while others have grease fittings below

the deck.

• Operator rises off seat with the mower blade switch

ON, OR

• Operator rises off seat with the ground speed levers

in DRIVE positions, OR

• Operator rises off seat with the parking brake in

DISENGAGE position, OR

• Operator moves the left and/or right ground speed

control lever out of its START/PARK position with

the parking brake lever in ENGAGE position.

TEST 4 — BLADE BRAKE CHECK

The mower blades and mower drive belt should come

to a complete stop within five seconds after the mower

blade switch is turned OFF. If mower drive belt does

not stop within five seconds, contact your local autho-

rized dealer.

NOTE: Once the engine has stopped, the mower blade

switch must be turned OFF, the ground speed control

levers must be locked in their START/PARK positions,

and the parking brake lever must be in the ENGAGE

position in order to start the engine.
