Z254F spindle

I bought a Z254F Premium Special Edition last year. The manual says to grease the spindles, but there are no fittings on them. Did they go to sealed spindles and forget to update the manual, or am I missing something?

    Different manufacturers have put zerk fittings on the housings WITH SEALED BEARINGS.
     
    As yours doesn't have a zerk, I wouldn't worry about it.
     
    You can knock out a bearing to inspect but will likely damage it. 
    It very likely is sealed...
     
    I believe it was Husky that very recently started putting in "Open seals"
    with zerk fittings...
     
    .
