CLEANING
• Clean
engine,
battery,
seat, finish,
etc.
of all foreign
matter.
• Keep finished
surfaces
and wheels
free
of all gasoline,
oil, etc.
• Protect
painted
surfaces
with auto-
motive
type wax.
We do not recommend
using a garden
hose or pressure
washer
to clean your
tractor
unless
the engine
and transmis-
sion are covered
to keep water out. Water
in engine
or transmission
will shorten
the
useful
life of your tractor.
Use compressed
air or a leaf blower to remove
grass,
leaves
and trash from tractor
and mower.
