MAINTENANCE
Cleaning and Washing
Regular cleaning and washing, especially
under the mower deck, will increase the
machine’s lifespan. Make it a habit to clean
the machine directly after use (after it is
cooled), before the dirt sticks.
Do not spray water on the top of the mower
deck. Use compressed air to clean the top
side of mower deck. Regularly clean deck
and underside of the deck with normal water
pressure. Do not use a high pressure washer
or steam cleaner. Avoid spraying engine and
electrical components with water
Do not rinse hot surfaces with cold water. Let
unit cool before washing.

rotates freely. If wheels do not rotate freely
