wheel mount.
Front Wheel Bearings

set of wheel bearings.
Deck Spindles
Lower the cutting deck completely. Remove the
two spindle deck guards. Lubricate with a grease

Engine oil

NOTE: Change the engine oil when the engine
is warm. Refer to the engine owner's manual
for the correct replacement oil and filter change
recommendations and oil checking and changing
intervals.
Warning! The engine drain plug is
located close to the muffler. To prevent burns,
the engine should be shut off and allowed to
cool slightly so the engine is still warm but the
surrounding surfaces and oil are not.
