Greasing Bearings, Bushings and Pivot Points

IMPORTANT: Lubricating cutting units immediately

after washing helps purge water out of bearings and

increases bearing life.

Each cutting unit has (7) grease fittings that must be lu-

bricated regularly with No. 2 General Purpose Lithium

Base Grease.

The lubrication points are front roller (2), rear roller (2),

reel bearing (2), and bedknife adjuster.

1. Wipe each grease fitting with a clean rag.

2. Apply grease until pressure is felt against handle.

3. Wipe excess grease away.

Note: Apply grease to reel bearing cavities until a small

amount is evident at the inboard reel seal.
