Cleaning
Cleaning the Collection
Sensors
Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Wipe clean
the collection sensors.
In the event the collection bag alarm goes off and the
bag is less than full, gently wipe off the faces of the
sensors with a soft cloth. The cloth can be damp with
water.
Important: Do not use solvents or chemicals of
any kind to clean the face of the sensors.
When finished using the machine, use a soft cloth to
clear away blockage between the sensors (crusted or
clumped up grass clippings or leaves).
Washing the Underside of the
Mower
Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Clean the
mower housing.
Wash the underside of the mower after each use to
prevent grass buildup for improved mulch action and
clipping dispersal.
1. Park the machine on a level surface and disengage
the blade control switch.
2. Move the motion control levers to the brake position,
stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
3. Attach the hose to the end of the mower washout
fitting, and turn the water on high (Figure 60).
Note: Spread petroleum jelly on the washout fitting
O-ring to make the hose slide on easier and protect
the O-ring.
