Cleaning the deck

Clean the debris off of the mower deck every time the mower is used. It is routine maintenance that will make the

deck easier to work on and prolong the life of the deck and spindles.

To clean the deck while it is removed:

1.

Blow all the debris off of the top of the deck using compressed air.

2.

Scrape off the debris build up from the under side of the deck using a plastic scraper.

NOTE: Applying a light coating of oil to the underside of the deck after scraping it clean will help prevent rust-
ing of the deck and help keep debris from building up on the underside of the deck.

Debris build up on the mower deck is an unsafe condition. The debris traps heat in the spin-
dles causing damage to the spindle bearings. Debris around the belt can over-heat.
