in serious injury to yourself or others and may cause
damage to the tractor.

1.
Disengage the PTO, set the parking
brake and stop the engine.
2.
Use a hose to spray the underside of
the deck.
Note: Make sure that the hose is not
routed under the deck and is clear of all
moving parts.
3.
After cleaning your deck, return to the
operator's position and engage the PTO.
Keep the deck running for a minimum of
two minutes, allowing the underside of
the deck to thoroughly dry.
Cleaning the Tractor
If the tractor has been recently run, the engine,
muffler, and surrounding metal surfaces will be hot
and can cause burns to the skin. Let the engine cool for
at least five minutes. Exercise caution to avoid burns.
Your tractor should be cleaned after each
use and under certain conditions, i.e. dry
conditions and/or mulching situations,
additional cleaning may be necessary.
One of the best ways to keep your tractor
running efficiently and to reduce fire risk is
to regularly remove debris buildup from the
tractor. Follow the recommendations below
and contact your authorized dealer with
any questions.

General Purpose Lubrication: Use any NLGI Grade 2 multi-purpose
grease. Shell Albida EP2 is recommended. Shell Albida EP 2 is a red-colored
multi-purpose grease designed for heavy-duty bearing applications. It
has high base oil viscosity for mechanical stability, has been formulated
for high load, low-speed applications and has excellent lubrication and
corrosion protection.
WARNING
•
Allow the machine to cool in an open
area before cleaning.
•
Do not use water on any part of the
tractor except the underside of the
cutting deck. Doing so can cause
damage to the tractor's spindle
bearings, electrical system and engine,
leading to premature failures. The use of
compressed air and/or leaf blower will
help keep the tractor clean.
•
Clean around the exhaust manifold, fuses,
all wiring and harnesses, muffler pipe,
muffler shield, engine intake screens and
cooling fins, etc. See Figure 4-1.
