Lubrication
Accessories
Lubrication or other maintenance of optional
equipment or accessories, see “Accessories” on
page 55, is not described in this manual. This
equipment too, naturally, requires maintenance. See
the manuals for the respective accessories for
instructions.
Lubricating in Accordance with the
Lubrication Schedule
The numbers in the following headings refer to the
lubrication points as described in “Lubrication
Schedule” on page 53 and
“General” on page 53.
1. Pivot wheel bearings
4 nipples (wheels and pivot shaft bearing), lubricate
using a grease gun until grease is forced out.
2. Handle for cutting height setting
Lubricate the front and rear handles using the oil can.
3. Cutting unit’s bevel gear
Sight glass on the plug on the front of the bevel gear.
Check the level when the cutting unit is in the lower
position. When filling, raise the cutting unit to the
transport position and remove the plug with the sight
glass.
Fill with transmission oil SAE 80.
Changing the oil
Drain the bevel gear through the sight glass with a
suction hose equipped with a plastic hose, which
reaches the bottom of the housing.
Alternatively; remove the cutting unit and plastic
covers. Place the cutting unit on its top edge and drain
the bevel gear through a plug.
Fill the bevel gear with 0.6 litres of oil.
4. Propeller shaft’s joints
The propeller shaft joint’s 2 nipples, one nipple on the
front and rear joint. Remove the propeller shaft (See
“Side shifting the cutting unit” on page 96.) and
lubricate using a grease gun until grease is forced out.
Also lubricate the telescopic joint on the propeller shaft
with grease.
