Points

 

•Keep finished surfaces and wheels free of all gasoline, oil, etc.

•Protect painted surfaces with automo- tive type wax.

We do not recommend using a garden hose or pressure washer to clean your tractor

unless the engine and transmission are covered to keep water out. Water in engine

or transmission will shorten the useful life of

your tractor. Use compressed air or a leaf blower to remove grass, leaves and trash from tractor and mower.

DECK WASHOUT PORT

Your tractor's deck is equipped with a washout port on its surface as part of its deck wash system. It should be utilized af- ter each use.

1.Drive the tractor to a level, clear spot on your lawn, near enough to a water spigot for your garden hose to reach.

IMPORTANT: Make certain the tractor's

discharge chute is directed AWAY from your house, garage, parked cars, etc. Remove bagger chute or mulch cover if attached.

2.Make sure the attachment clutch control

is in the "DISENGAGED" position, set the parking brake, and stop the engine.

3. Thread the nozzle adapter (packaged with your tractor's Operator's Manual) onto the end of your garden hose.

4. Pull back the lock collar of the nozzle adapter and push the adapter onto the

deck washout port at the left end of the mower deck. Release the lock collar to

lock the adapter on the nozzle.

adapter to disconnect the adapter from the nozzle washout port.

10.Move the tractor to a dry area, prefer-

ably a concrete or paved area. Place
