SERVICE
The information in this section is written for operators
who possess basic mechanical skills. If you need help,
your dealer has trained service technicians available.
For your protection, read and follow the safety informa-
tion in this manual.
Before inspecting, servicing, storing, or chang-
ing an accessory, shut off power source, make
sure all moving parts have come to a complete
stop, and disconnect PTO driveline.
LUBRICATION
1. Do not let excess grease collect on or around
parts, particularly when operating in sandy areas.
2. Use a lithium grease of #2 consistency with a
MOLY (molybdenum disulfide) additive for all
locations unless otherwise noted.
NOTE: Be sure to clean fittings thoroughly before
attaching grease gun. One good pump of most
guns is sufficient when the lubrication schedule is
followed.
