CLEANING
•Clean engine, battery, seat, fi nish, etc. of all foreign matter.
•Keep fi nished surfaces and wheels free of all gasoline, oil, etc.
•Protect painted surfaces with auto- motive 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 air or a leaf blower to remove grass, leaves and trash from tractor and mower.
