Cleaning - Husqvarna Z 246i Operator's Manual

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

Regular cleaning, especially under the mower
deck, will increase the machine's life-span. Clean
the machine directly after use (after it is cooled),
before the debris sticks.
Do not spray water on the top of the mower deck.
Use compressed air to clean the top side of the
mower deck. Do not use a high pressure washer
or steam cleaner. Avoid spraying engine and
electrical components with water.
Regularly clean the underside of the deck with
normal water pressure. Attach the quick connect
(from the accessory packet) to any garden hose.
After mowing, snap the hose to the cleanout port
and turn on the water supply.
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.
Do not rinse hot surfaces with cold water. Let the
unit cool before washing.
CAUTION! Use protective glasses
when cleaning and washing.
