LUBRICATION INFORMATION 
Do not let excess grease collect on or around 
parts, particularly when operating in sandy areas. 

The accompanying illustration shows lubrication 

points. The chart gives the frequency of lubrication 
in operating hours, based on normal operating 
conditions. Severe or unusual conditions may 
require more frequent lubrication. Some reference 
numbers have more than one location; be sure 
you lubricate all locations. 

In addition to the lubrication points shown, at least 
once 

a year, oil the six mower 

lift pivot points. 

Use a lithium grease of 

#2 consistency with a 

MOLY (molybdenum disulfide) additive for all 
locations. 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 the gearbox. Check 

gear box daily for evidence of leakage at both 
seals and the gasket between the housing and 
cover. 

If leakage is noted, repair immediately. 

There may be a small amount of lube emitted from 
the vent plug; this is not considered leakage. 
Check lube level every 

50 hours by removing the 

vent plug and checking the gauge on the bottom 
of the vent plug. The oil level should show 1 in. on 
the gauge. You may also check the oil by using an 
Allen wrench to remove the level plug in the front of 
the gearbox. Do not over lubricate. Over-filling the 

gearbox will cause the excess gear lube to blow 
out vent plug. The gear lube could then ruin the 
belt. 

Drive Shaft Lubrication 
Lubricate the drive shaft slip joint every 8 operating 
hours. Failure to maintain proper lubrication could 
result in damage to U-joints, gearbox and drive 

shaft. 

Lower mower to ground and apply a bead of 

grease all around the male half where it meets the 
female half. Raise and lower mower several times 

to distribute grease.
