Using the Deck Wash System
WARNING!
never engage the deck from any position other than
the operator's seat of the tractor. Do not use an
assistant or engage deck in the presence of any
bystanders.
Use the Deck Wash System to rinse grass clippings from the
deck's underside and prevent the buildup of corrosive chemicals.
Complete the following steps after each mowing:
NOTE: Make certain the machine's discharge chute is directed
away from people, children, animals, and your house, garage,
parked cars, etc.
1. Attach the nozzle adapter to a standard garden hose
connected to a water supply.
2. Move the tractor to an area within reach of the hose where
the dispersal of wet grass clippings is not objectionable to
you. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake, and
stop the engine.
3. Pull back the lock collar of the nozzle adapter and push the
adapter onto one of the deck wash nozzles at either end of
the mower deck. Release the lock collar to lock the adapter
on the nozzle. See Fig. 6-4.

engage the PTO. Allow to run as needed. Disengage the
PTO and stop the engine.
6. Turn off the water supply.
7. Pull back the lock collar of the nozzle adapter to disconnect
the adapter from the nozzle.
8. Repeat the previous steps to clean the deck using the
nozzle at the other end of the deck.

Cleaning the Spindle Pulleys
Once a month remove the belt covers to remove any
accumulation of grass clippings from around the spindle pulleys
and V-belt. Clean more often when mowing tall, dry grass.
Using the Transmission Bypass Valves
If for any reason the tractor will not drive or you wish to move
the tractor, the two hydrostatic transmissions are equipped with
a bypass valve that will allow you to manually move the tractor
short distances.
WARNING!
Do not tow the tractor, even with the
bypass rod engaged. Serious transmission damage
will result from doing so.
1. From just in front of the engine and just behind the seat,
locate the transmission bypass valves. Refer to Fig. 6-5.
Figure 6-5
2. Using a standard 7⁄16" wrench turn the valve counter-
clockwise one quarter turn.
3. Repeat the above procedure to engage the other bypass
valve on the other side of the tractor.
4. After moving the tractor, return both valves to the
operating position by turning the valve clockwise, but do
not overtighten.
NOTE: The tractor will not drive with the bypass valves in the
engage position.
