LUBRICATION INFORMATION
■ When lubricating telescoping PTO drives, keep
fingers out of shield access slots to prevent
injury.
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,
particularly when operating in sandy areas.
See Figure 10 and Figure 11 for lubrication points and
frequency or lubrication based on normal operating
conditions. Sever or unusual operating conditions may
require more frequent lubrication.
Use a lithium grease of #2 consistency with a MOLY
(molybdenum disulfide) additive for all locations unless
otherwise noted.
Fill blade spindles until grease purges out of the upper
seal.
Be sure to clean fittings thoroughly before attaching
grease gun. When applied according to the lubrication
chart, one good pump of most guns is sufficient.
Use SAE 90W gear lube in gearboxes. Check level of
oil in gearboxes using provided dipstick in vent plug or
until oil runs out of side plug.
Daily lubrication of PTO slip joints is necessary. Failure
to maintain proper lubrication can result in damage to
U-joints, gearboxes and/or drive shafts. Raise or lower
mower until grease fittings in PTO shields are exposed.
Insert grease gun through slots and apply grease to all
sides of shafts. Always stand clear of mower and wing
arm mechanism to avoid being pinched or crushed
should the mower or wing suddenly lower.
Raise and lower mower after applying grease so that it
spreads over the slip joint working area.
