Cleaning

Washing the Underside of the
Mower
Service Interval: After each use—Clean the mower housing.
Wash the underside of the mower after each use to prevent
grass buildup for improved mulch action and clipping
dispersal.
Important: You can wash the machine with a mild
detergent and water. Do not pressure wash the machine.
Avoid excessive use of water, especially near the control
panel, under the seat, around the engine, hydraulic
pumps, and motors.
1. Park the machine on a level surface and disengage the
blade-control switch.
2. Move the motion-control levers outward to the
neutral-lock position, stop the engine, remove the key,
and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
3. Attach the hose coupling to the end of the mower
washout fitting, and turn the water on high
Note: Spread petroleum jelly on the washout fitting
O-ring to make the coupling slide on easier and protect
the O-ring.
