Cleaning

Regular cleaning and washing, especially under the mower deck, will increase the machine’s life-span. Make it a habit to clean the machine directly after use (after it is cooled), before the debris sticks.

Use compressed air to clean the top side of mower deck. For cleaning the underside of the deck, use the cleanout port.

Attach the quick connect (from the accessory packet) to any garden hose. After mowing, snap the hose to the cleanout port and turn on water.

Restart the mower and engage the blades to use the spinning action to wash away debris. Make sure the hose is away from the mower blades.

Avoid spraying water on the engine and electrical components.

Use protective glasses when cleaning and washing.
