wash the machine with a garden hose without a nozzle so
excessive water pressure will not cause contamination and
damage to the seals and bearings. After cleaning, it is
recommended the machine be inspected for possible
hydraulic fluid leaks, damage or wear to hydraulic and
mechanical components, and the cutting units checked for

sharpness. Also, lubricate the mow and lift pedal and brake
shaft assembly with SAE 30 oil or spray lubricant to deter
corrosion and help keep the machine performing
satisfactorily during the next mowing operation.

Towing The Traction Unit

In case of an emergency the machine can be towed for a
short distance (less than 1/4 mile [0.4 km). However, we do
not recommend this as standard procedure.
Important Do not tow the machine faster than 2–3
MPH (3–5 km/h) because the drive system may be
damaged. If the machine must be moved a considerable
distance, transport it on a truck or trailer.
