Grease: 25 • Mower deck spindles (A, Figure 23). • Rear transmission cradle pivots (A, Figure 24 - Suspension models only). • Front caster wheel axles (A, Figure 25). Use grease fittings when present. Disassemble parts to apply grease to moving parts when grease fittings are not installed. Not all greases are compatible. Your product is manufactured using Heavy Duty Lithium Complex EP, NLGI grade 2 grease. Using non-compatible grease could damage or cause premature parts failures. Oil: 26 • Deck lift linkage pivots (A, Figures 26 and 27). • Mower deck idler arm (B, Figures 26 and 27). 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 surfaces clean both before and after lubrication. 23 27 24 Servicing the Mower Blades 28 stihlusa.com
