Mower Deck Washout Port
NOTE: The washout port allows you to connect a typical
garden hose to the trim side (L.H.) of the mower deck
to remove grass and debris from the underside. This
ensures proper and safe operation of the mower.
1. Place the lawn tractor on a smooth level surface.
WARNING
Before running the mower, make sure the hose is
properly connected and does not come into contact
with the blades. When the mower is running and
the blades are engaged, the person cleaning the
mower deck must be in the operator position, and
there are no bystanders. Failure to follow these
precautions may result in serious injury or death.
2. Attach the quick disconnect (A, Figure 10) to garden
hose (B) and connect to washout port (C) on mower
deck.
3. Turn the mower on and place in the highest cutting
position.
4. Run water to remove grass and debris from underside
of mower deck.
5. Turn the mower off.
6. Remove the garden hose and quick disconnect from
the washout port when completed.
