LUBRICATION
MOWER WHEELS: Lubricating wheels and/or
wheel bearings is not necessary under normal
conditions.
Should conditions require lubrication, thoroughly
clean wheels and/or wheel bearings and axles,
then apply a light coating of dry lubricant such
as white graphite. White graphite is available
at Sears retail stores and through the catalog.
REARDOOR HINGE: Put a few drops of the same
oil as used in the engine on hinge points of rear
door once or twice each year (See Fig. 25).
GEAR CASE: The gear case isfilled at the factory
and does not require an addition of lubricant,
unless the gear case is opened and service
performed. Use only a multi-purpose automotive
grease for refilling after service has been per-
formed. Approximately 2 1/2 oz. required.
FRONT WHEELADJUSTERS:Puta few drops of the
same oil as used in the engine on the front wheel
adjusters once or twice each year (See Fig. 26).
