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.
