ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 
 
In addition to the daily maintenance on pages 8 to12, the 
following maintenance schedules are recommended. 
 
                                 IMPORTANT 
These schedules are based on operating in ‘average’ 
conditions. In wet, heavy or sandy conditions, more 
frequent periods of service are recommended. 
In such conditions the Roller Bearings should be greased 
every 20 hours. 
 
 
40 HOURS or WEEKLY 
 
Refer to Fig.24 
Apply grease to : 
•  Reel Bearings. 
•  Roller Bearings. (See note above). 
•  Telescopic Arm. 
•  Jackshaft Bearings. (See below). 
•  Outrigger Wheels. (Dual wheels only). 
•  Reel wheels. (Vertical Mower only). 
 
                                IMPORTANT 
Do not ‘over grease’ the Jackshaft Bearings as this  may 
‘pop’ the seals and result in bearing failure.
