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.

Use protective glasses when cleaning and washing.

Cleaning

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.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

DO NOT add any type of tire liner or foam ﬁll material to the tires. Excessive loads created by foam ﬁlled tires will cause premature failures.

Only use O.E.M. speciﬁed tires.

Foam ﬁlled tires or solid tires will void the warranty.

Hardware

Check daily. Inspect the entire machine for loose or missing hardware.
