22.12.Installation notes:
• Apply lubricant to the friction surfaces of the
steering pivot shaft on assembly: In regions
where the mower will be in continuous duty, a
dry PTFE-based lubricant such as “Tri-flow dry
Teflon Lubricant” is appropriate. This will lubri-
cate the pivot shaft without collecting abrasive
grit. In regions where there is an extended dor-
mant period anti-seize compound will help keep
rust off the bearing surfaces during times of dis-
use.
• If the locking feature of the nuts that secure the
steering lock rods or brake links has worn,
replace the nut, or apply a small amount of
thread locking compound such as Loctite 242
(blue) to the threads of the bolt that connects the
steering pivot plate to the steering pivot shaft.
Tighten the bolt to a torque of 250 in-lbs (28.25
Nm).
• If the locking feature of the nuts that secure the
input and output arms to the brake pivot shaft
has worn, replace the nut, or apply a small
amount of thread locking compound such as
Loctite 242 (blue) to the threads of the nut.
Tighten the nut to a torque of 250 in-lbs (28.25
Nm).
22.13.Test the operation of the steering and brake con-
trols, and all related safety features before
returning the mower to service. Tests should be
done in a clear area that is free of hazards,
obstructions, and other personnel.
