We do not recommend using a garden hose or pres-
sure washer to clean your tractor unless the engine
and transmission are covered to keep water out. Water
in engine or transmission will shorten the useful life
of your tractor. Use compressed air or a leaf blower
to remove grass, leaves and trash from tractor and
mower.
