CLEANING
• Clean engine, battery, seat, finish, etc. of
ail foreign matter.
• Keep finished surfaces and wheels free
of all gasoline, oil, etc.
• Protect painted surfaces with automotive
type wax.
We do not recommend using a garden
hose or pressure washer to clean your
tractor unless the engine and transmis
sion are covered to keep water out. Water
in engine or transmission will shorten the
useful life of your tractor. Use compressed

leaves and trash from tractor and mower.
