CLEANING

•Clean engine, battery, seat, fi nish, etc. of all foreign matter.

•Keep fi nished surfaces and wheels free of all gasoline, oil, etc.

•Protect painted surfaces with auto-

motive type wax.

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