Generally, all moving metal parts should be oiled where
contact is made with other parts.  Keep oil and grease off
belts and pulleys.  Remember to wipe fittings and sur-
faces clean both before and after lubrication.

Use grease fittings when present. Disassemble parts to
apply grease to moving parts when grease fittings are
not installed.  Not all greases are compatible.  Use auto-
motive-type lithium grease.  

Lubricate the unit at the following lubrication points
shown in Figure 9.

• front caster wheel axles
• front caster yokes
• mower deck idler arm
• mower deck arbors

• control handle pivots
• discharge chute hinge
