The company also produces a professional walk-behind mower. Walker mowers have a reputation as reliable and easy to control and maintain.

      Place the end of the grease gun nozzle over the grease fittings. Pump the handle of the grease gun until you feel pressure, or the grease comes out between the end of the gun and the fitting. Wipe excess grease away with a rag.
