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 PTO (Blade Engage) is not engaged, 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.

IMPORTANT: Tug hose ensuring connec- tion is secure.

5.Turn the water on.

6.While sitting in the operator's position on the tractor, re-start the engine and

place the throttle lever in the Fast ",_" position.

IMPORTANT: Recheck the area making certain the area is clear.

7.Move thetractor'sPTO(BladeEngage)

to the ON position. Remain in the op- erator's position with the cutting deck engaged until the deck is cleaned.

8.Move thetractor'sPTO(BladeEngage)

to the OFF position. Turn the ignition key to the STOP position to turn the tractor's engine off. Turn the water off.

9.Pull back the lock collar of 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. Engage the mower deck PTO to remove excess water and to help dry before putting the tractor away.

_WARNING: A broken or missing washout fitting could expose you or others to thrown objects from contact with the blade.

Replace broken or missing washout fitting immediately, prior to using mower again.

Plug any holes in mower with bolts and
