SECTION 8: MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Before performing any maintenance or repairs, disengage PTO, move shift lever into neutral position, set parking brake, stop engine and remove key to prevent unintended starting.

CLEANING THE ENGINE AND DECK

Any fuel or oil spilled on the machine should be wiped off promptly.

Do NOT allow debris to accumulate around the cooling fins of the engine or on any other part of the machine, especially the belts and pulleys.

IMPORTANT: The use of a pressure washer or garden hose to clean your tractor is NOT recommended. It may cause damage to electrical components, spindles, pulleys, bearings or the engine. The use of water will result in a shortened life of the tractor and reduce its serviceability.

Deck Wash System™ (Optional)

A hex plug can be found on your tractor’s deck surface.

This plug can be replaced with a water port to be used as part of a separately-available deck wash system.

Use the Deck Wash System to rinse grass clippings from the deck’s underside and prevent build-up of corrosive chemicals.Refer to page 6 for information regarding this and other separately-available attach- ments & accessories for your tractor. Complete the following steps after each mowing:

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