Cleaning the Riding Mower
•
Promptly wipe off any fuel or oil spilled on the
machine with clean cloth.
•
Clean the underside of the blade housing after
each mowing. Do not let clippings accumulate
around the blade and create rust on the deck.
NOTE: We do not recommend the use of pressure
washers or garden hose to clean your unit. These may
cause damage to electrical components, spindles,
pulleys, bearings or the engine. The use of water may
shorten life of equipment and reduce its serviceability.
