STORAGE
1 ;'Remove the mower deck from the tractor.
2. Turn the mower deck upside down. Clean the
underside of the deck with water, and dry
thoroughly.
3. For longer service and greater efficiency, keep
the underside of the mower housing clean and
free of accumulated grass clippings by washing
it
down with a hose after use and/or cleaning it
with a wire brush and scraper. Remove any rust
and apply a rust-resistant paint. Cleaning and
rust prevention are especially important before
seasonal storage.
Washing the deck directly after
use can cause .premature bearing wear.
Allow the deck to cool before washing, then
run the deck to remove any excess moisture.
