How to Lubricate a Pivot Turret on a Scag Tiger Cub

The Scag Tiger Cub lawn mower has lubrication points at the top of each pivot turret on the caster wheels at the front of the mower. The lubrication points are located underneath a protective cap and require a threaded grease zerk to lubricate. A grease zerk is included in the accessories pack of the mower. The pivot turrets should be lubricated once a year or after 500 hours of operation.

Things You'll Need

• Grease gun
• Chassis grease
• Grease zerk fitting, 5 mm by 3.5 mm
