LUBRICATION Wheel and Deck Zerks Use only good quality bearing grease. Grease from well-known brand names (petrochemical companies, etc.) usually maintains a good quality. Front Wheel Mount Lubricate 3-4 strokes with a grease gun on each set of wheel bearings. Front Wheel Bearings Lubricate 3-4 strokes with a grease gun on each set of wheel bearings. 12/12 Every year 1/52 Every Week 1/365 Every day Lubricate with grease gun Filter change Oil change Level check General Remove the ignition key to prevent unintentional movements during lubrication. When lubricating with an oil can, it must be filled with engine oil. When lubricating with grease, unless otherwise stated, use a high grade molybdenum disulphide grease. For daily use, the machine should be lubricated twice weekly. Wipe away excess grease after lubrication. It is important to avoid getting lubricant on the belts or the drive surfaces of the belt pulleys. Should this happen, attempt to clean them with spirits. If the belt continues to slip after cleaning, the belt must be replaced. Gasoline or other petroleum products must not be used to clean belts. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Use minimal lubrication and remove excess lubricant so that is does not come into contact with belts or belt pulley drive surfaces. Deck Spindles Lower the cutting deck completely. Lubricate with a grease gun, 2-3 strokes per spindle through the openings in the belt shields. If a grease gun without rubber hose is used, the foot plate must be removed to access the center spindle. Transmission The transmission is maintenance free with no need for level checks or oil changes. If a leak occurs, replace the unit or contact your Husqvarna dealer. 27
