Front casters
The front caster wheels of the mower are equipped
with two grease fittings. Any grease injected into one
side of the wheel will migrate to the other side. A high
quality lithium grease is recommended. See Figure 2.2.
The front wheel spindles are equipped with grease fit-
tings and should be greased after each season of use
or every 50 hours what ever comes first.
See Figure 2.3.
NOTE: Failure to grease the front wheel spin-
dles could result in poor turning ability.
Spindles
Both blade spindles are equipped with grease fittings.
The spindles should be greased every 50 hours or at
the end of the mowing season which ever comes first.
See Figure 2.4.
CAUTION: Never put more that one squirt of
grease, per servicing, into a spindle. Putting
more that one squirt of grease into a spindle will
result in the bearings being pressed out of the
spindle housing.
NOTE: Blades should be checked on a regular
basis for damage or dulling that has occurred
from regular use.
NOTE: Cutting with a dull or bent blade will
greatly reduce the quality of the cut.
NOTE: Replace any blade that is bent, damaged
or worn beyond the normal sharpening range.
CAUTION: If a blade is bent Do NOT try to bend
it back.
