Note: This Operator's Manual covers several models. Tractor features may vary by
model. Not all features in this manual are applicable to all tractor models and the
tractor depicted may differ from yours.
The electrical components on this tractor are not serviceable. Please
contact an authorized service dealer for any service needs.
Have your tractor serviced by qualified service personnel using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
tractor is maintained.
Post-Operation Tractor Care
After each operation of the tractor, the following procedures should be
implemented to extend the life of your tractor and ensure safe operating conditions.
Failure to follow these recommendations may result in serious injury
to yourself or others and may cause damage to the tractor.
Cleaning the Underside of the Deck
To prevent serious injury, do not use water to clean the tractor, battery
or battery charger. Do not use strong detergents. Household cleaners
that contain aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and solvents such as
kerosene, can damage plastic.
The underside of tractor deck should be cleaned after each use as grass clippings,
leaves, dirt and other debris will accumulate. This accumulation of grass clippings,
etc., is undesirable as it will promote rust and corrosion.

Remove any buildup of grass and leaves on or around the motor (DO NOT USE
WATER). Wipe the tractor clean with a dry cloth.
2.
If debris is allowed to build up on the underside of the machine, tilt the
tractor forward or on its side and clean with a suitable tool.
Important: Do not use a pressure washer or garden hose to clean your tractor.
These may cause damage to electric components or the electric motor. The use of
water will result in shortened life and reduce serviceability.
Cleaning the Tractor
If the tractor has been recently run, metal surfaces will be hot and can
cause burns to the skin. Let the tractor cool for at least five minutes.
Exercise caution to avoid burns.
Your tractor should be cleaned after each use and under certain conditions, i.e. dry
conditions and/or mulching situations, additional cleaning may be necessary.
One of the best ways to keep your tractor running efficiently and to reduce fire risk
is to regularly remove debris buildup from the tractor. Follow the recommendations
below and contact your authorized dealer with any questions.
•
Allow the machine to cool in an open area before cleaning.
•
Do not use water on any part of the tractor. Doing so can cause damage to the
tractor's electrical components and motor. The use of compressed air and/or
leaf blower or a brush, damp sponge or rag will help keep the tractor clean.
•
Clean around fuses, all wiring and harnesses, etc.
