Brush or blow clippings and debris off the cutterdeck and engine deck.

CAUTION: Improperly washing a machine can cause water to enter bearings and other components. This can greatly reduce component life.
–Do not use a pressure washer. Do not direct water at bearings or seals. High pressure water can blow past seals ad enter seal bearings.
–Allow the machine to cool down before washing. Water on a warm machine can be sucked into sealed bearings as they cool.
