Maintenance
Before performing any maintenance or repairs, disengage PTO, move shift
lever into neutral position, set parking brake, stop engine and remove key
to prevent unintended starting.
If the engine has been recently run, the engine, muffler and surrounding
metal surfaces will be hot and can cause burns to the skin. Exercise caution
to avoid burns.
Post-Operation Rider Care
After each operation of the rider, the following procedures should be implemented
to extend the life of your rider 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 rider.
Cleaning the Underside of the Deck
Deck Wash System (If equipped)
Some tractors come fitted with a Deck Wash System, which is used to rinse grass
clippings from the deck's underside and prevent the buildup of corrosive chemicals.
Other tractors may have a deck wash plug, allowing for a Deck Wash System that
can be added at a later time. If this is the case, a hex bolt and washer can be found
on your tractor's deck surface and can be replaced with a water port to be used as
part of an optional deck wash system.
Use the deck wash system to rinse grass clippings from the deck's underside and prevent
the buildup of corrosive chemicals. Complete the following steps AFTER EACH MOWING:
1.
Drive the rider to a level, clear spot on your lawn, near enough for your
garden hose to reach.
Make certain the rider's discharge chute is directed AWAY from people,
your house, garage, parked cars, etc.
2.
Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake and stop the engine.
3.
Thread the hose coupler (packaged with your rider's Operator's Manual) onto
the end of your garden hose.

metal surfaces will be hot and can cause burns to the skin. Let the engine
cool for at least five minutes Exercise caution to avoid burns.
Your rider 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 rider running efficiently and to reduce fire risk
is to regularly remove debris buildup from the rider. 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 rider except the underside of the cutting
deck. Doing so can cause damage to the rider's spindle bearings, electrical
system and engine, leading to premature failures. The use of compressed air
and/or leaf blower will help keep the rider clean.
