24 DR 46" LAWN MOWER DECK Safety & Operating Instructions
Lubrication
Most of your DR 46" LAWN MOWER DECK was greased at the factory. You don’t
need to lubricate it until after the first 25 hours of use or each season.
Note: You must, however, grease the Caster Wheel Spindles before you use the deck.
Please see Step 2 below.
Tools & Supplies Needed:
■
Flexible hose grease gun
■
Lithium grease
■
FLUID FILM ® or comparable lubricant
■
9/16" wrench
Note: When using the grease gun, unless otherwise instructed, pump only until you
feel slight resistance (1-2 pumps should do it). Over greasing will cause grease
to leak out of the seals and onto the mower drive belt.
Perform Steps 1 through 4 every 25 hours of operation or each season:
1. Grease the fittings on the front Caster Wheels (Figure 21).
2. Grease the fittings on the Lawn Deck Frame where the Wheel Castor Spindles
swivel (Figure 22).
WARNING! Before performing any maintenance procedure, stop the engine
and disconnect the spark plug wire(s).
