MAINTENANCE
Cleaning and Washing
Regular cleaning and washing, especially under the
mower deck, will increase the machine’s lifespan.
Make it a habit to clean the machine directly after use
(after it is cooled), before the dirt sticks.
Do not spray water on the top of the mower deck. Use
compressed air to clean the top side of mower deck.
Regulary clean deck and underside of deck, avoid
spraying engine and electrical components with water.

Caster Wheels
Check every 200 hours. Lift front of unit off of ground
so caster wheels can rotate freely. Tighten caster bolt
then back off 1/2 turn. Check that wheel rotates freely. If
wheel does not rotate freely back the caster bolt off in
1/4 turn increments until wheel rotates freely.
Foam filled tires or solid tires will void the warranty.
Hardware
Check daily. Inspect the entire machine for loose or
missing hardware.
