maintenance-free. Fluid levels cannot be checked and fluid
cannot be added or changed.
Lubrication
Using a pressure lubricating gun, lubricate the front castor
wheel axles and the front pivot axle with Cub Cadet 251H
EP grease after every 10 hours of service.
Periodically lubricate all other pivot points with a quality
lubricating oil.

accumulation of grass clippings from around the spindle pulleys
and V-belt. Clean more often when mowing tall, dry grass.
