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 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 (Figure 72).
Note:
Spread petroleum jelly on the washout
fitting O-ring to make the coupling slide on
easier and protect the O-ring.
