Cleaning the Underside of the Deck
Rinse grass clippings from the deck's underside and prevent the buildup of
corrosive chemicals.
Make certain the mower's discharge chute is directed AWAY from people,
your house, garage, parked cars, etc.
1. Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake and stop the engine.
2. Use a hose to spray the underside of the deck.
NOTE: Make sure that the hose is not routed under the deck and is clear of all
moving parts.
3. After cleaning your deck, return to the operator's platform and engage the PTO.
Keep the deck running for a minimum of two minutes, allowing the underside of
the deck to thoroughly dry.
Cleaning the Mower
If the mower has been recently run, the engine, muffler and surrounding
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 mower 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 mower running efficiently and to reduce fire risk
is to regularly remove debris buildup from the mower. 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 mower except the underside of the cutting
deck. Doing so can cause damage to the mower's spindle bearings, electrical
system and engine, leading to premature failures. The use of compressed air and/
or leaf blower will help keep the mower clean.
• Clean around the exhaust manifold, fuses, all wiring and harnesses, muffler pipe,
muffler shield, engine intake screens and cooling fins, etc (Figure 18).

WARNING
Figure 18
• Clean the top of the mower deck, under the spindle covers and belt area
(Figure 19).
• Clean around and near the transmission, axle and the fan area (Figure 20).
NOTE: Wheel not
shown for clarity.
• Debris can accumulate anywhere on the mower, especially on horizontal surfaces.
Additional cleaning may be necessary when mowing in dry conditions or
when mulching.
• Fuel leaks/spills, oil leaks/spills and excess lubrication can also become collection
sites for debris. Immediate repair and cleaning up oil or fuel spills can help reduce
fire hazards.
• In addition to cleaning the mower before operating and storing, do not attempt
to mow unusually tall grass (10" or higher), dry grass (e.g., pasture) or piles of dry
leaves. Dry grass or leaves may contact the engine exhaust and/or build up on the
mower deck presenting a potential fire hazard.
Lubrication
Periodically lubricate all pivot points with a quality lubricating oil.
Storing the Mower
• Allow the machine to cool in an open area before storing.
• Do not park the mower near any flammable materials (wood, cloth or chemicals)
or any open flames or other potential source of ignition (furnace, water heater or
any other type of heater).
• Remove all combustible materials from the mower before storing. Empty cargo
boxes, grass catchers or containers.
• Check the fuel system (lines, tank, cap and fittings) frequently for cracks or leaks.
Repair and clean as necessary.
