MAINTENANCE
raises the front of the mower, counter
clockwise will lower the front. Adjust the nut
until the rear blade tip is 3,175 mm to 12,7
mm higher than the front blade tip.
NOTE: This will position the mower deck in a
standard measurement position. Depending on
the type of grass being mowed or environmental
conditions, additional adjustments may be
required to get the desired cut.

Caster Wheels

Check at 200 hour intervals. Check that wheels
turn freely. If wheels do not turn freely, take the
unit to a dealer for service.
Foam filled tires or solid tires will void the
warranty.
Removal and installation
Remove nut and caster bolt. Pull the wheel out of
the yoke and take care of the spacers. Install in
reverse order. Tighten caster bolt.

Cleaning

Regular cleaning, especially under the mower
deck, will increase the machine's life-span. Clean
the machine directly after use (after it is cool,
before the debris sticks. Do not flush hot surfaces
with cold water.
Do not spray water on the top of the mower deck.
Use compressed air to clean the top side of the
mower deck. Do not use a high pressure washer
or steam cleaner. Avoid spraying engine and
electrical components with water.
Clean the underside of the deck with normal
water pressure. Attach the quick connect (from
the accessory packet) to a garden hose. After
mowing, snap the hose to the clean out port and
turn on water supply.
Restart the mower and engage the blades to use
the turning action to wash away debris. Make
sure the hose is away from the mower blades.
CAUTION! Use protective glasses
when cleaning and washing.
Hardware
Check daily. Do an inspection of the machine for
loose or missing hardware.
