MOWER DECK WASHOUT PORT
NOTE: The washout port allows you to connect a typical garden hose to the trim side (L.H.) of the mower deck to remove grass and debris from the underside. This ensures proper and safe operation of the mower.
1. Place the lawn tractor on a smooth level surface.
WARNING
Before running the mower, make sure the hose is properly connected and does not come into contact with the blades. When the mower is running and the blades are engaged, the person cleaning the mower deck must be in the operator position, and there are no bystanders. Failure to follow these precautions may result in serious injury or death.
2.Attach the quick disconnect (A, Figure 45) to garden hose (B) and connect to washout port (C) on mower deck.
3.Turn the mower on and place in the highest cutting position.
4.Run water to remove grass and debris from under- side of mower deck.
5.Turn the mower off.
6.Remove the garden hose and quick disconnect from the washout port when completed.
