Make sure the cooling shrouds are reinstalled. NOTE: Operating the engine with a blocked grass screen, dirty or plugged cooling fins, and/or cooling shrouds removed will cause engine damage due to overheating.

We do not recommend using a garden hose or pressure washer to clean your riding mower unless the engine and transmission are covered to keep water out. Water in en- gine or transmission will shorten the useful life of your riding mower. Use compressed air or a leaf blower to remove grass, leaves and trash from riding mower and mower.
