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 deck, avoid spraying engine and electrical components with water.

Use protective glasses when cleaning and washing.

Caster Wheels

Check every 200 hours. Lift front of unit off of ground so caster wheels can rotate freely. Tighten caster bolt then back off 1/2 turn. Check that wheel rotates freely. If wheel does not rotate freely back the caster bolt off in 1/4 turn increments until wheel rotates freely.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

DO NOT add any type of tire liner or foam fill material to the tires. Excessive loads created by foam filled tires will cause premature failures.

Only use O.E.M. specified tires.

Foam filled tires or solid tires will void the warranty.

Hardware

Check daily. Inspect the entire machine for loose or missing hardware.
