Lubrication
Traction Unit
CAUTION
Before servicing or making adjustments to the
machine, stop engine, lower cutting, set parking
brake, and remove key from the ignition switch.
The traction unit has grease fittings that must be lubri-
cated regularly with No. 2 General Purpose Lithium
Base Grease. If machine is operated under normal
conditions, lubricate bearings and bushings after every
50 hours of operation. Bearings and bushings must be
lubricated daily when operating conditions are extreme-
ly dusty and dirty. Dusty and dirty operating conditions
could cause dirt to get into the bearings and bushings,
resulting in accelerated wear. Lubricate bearings and
bushings immediately after every
washing, regardless
of the interval listed.
The traction unit bearings and bushings that must be lu-
bricated are: rear cutting unit pivot (Fig. 4), front cutting
unit pivot (Fig. 5), sideWinder cylinder ends (2) (model
03201 only) (Fig. 6), steering pivot (Fig. 7), rear lift arm
pivot and lift cylinder (2) (Fig. 8), left front lift arm pivot
and lift cylinder (2) (Fig. 9), right front lift arm pivot and lift
cylinder (2) (Fig. 10), neutral arm assembly (Fig. 11),
mow/transport slide (Fig. 12), belt tension pivot (Fig. 13)
steering cylinder (Fig. 14).
Note: If desired, an additional grease fitting may be
installed in other end of steering cylinder. Tire must be
removed, fitting installed, greased, fitting removed and
plug installed (Fig. 15).
IMPORTANT: Do not lubricate Sidewinder (model
03201) cross tube, bearing blocks are self lubri-
cated.
