SECTION V. LUBRICATION GUIDE
The life of any machine depends upon the care it is given. Proper lubrication is a very important part
of that care.
NOTE: We do not recommend the use of a pressure
washer or garden hose to clean your unit. They may
cause damage to electrical components; spindles;
pulleys; bearings; or the engine. The use of water will
result in shortened life and reduce serviceability.
Be certain that all lubrication fittings are assembled in
place, using Figure 31 as a guide.
Always lubricate the deck thoroughly before taking it to
the field. Use a pressure lubricating gun.
Be sure all fittings are free from dirt and paint so the
lubricant is certain to enter the bearing.
Miscellaneous working parts not provided with
lubrication fittings should be oiled regularly with a good
grade of lubricating oil.
Lubricant is cheap. Use plenty of it. Worn parts can be
expensive to replace.
Keep your supply of lubricating oil and grease stored in
clean containers, and covered to protect from dust and
dirt.
Keep the lubricating gun nozzle clean and wipe dirt
from the grease fittings before lubricating.
The symbol in the illustration indicates the grease gun
method of application and the hourly intervals to apply
the lubricant.
Use a pressure lubricating gun
and apply 251H EP grease (or
equivalent No. 2 multi-purpose
lithium grease) sufficient to flush
out the old grease and dirt. Lubri-
cate at the hourly intervals indicat-
ed on the symbols.
